Hmmm... HTML stands for Hyper Text Markup Language. Its not a programming
language.

That's good. You should have a go at its forebear SGML. Now that's a
markup language that gets your head spinning. It's language for defining
markup languages! XML is a subset of SGML, and HTML will eventually
evolve into a form of XML, or at least will be able to be described by XML.

Simplier than BASIC? That's hard to do. Maybe Logo, LISP, Forth, ...?

I don't recall any newbie saying that they don't understand Euphoria.
I vaguely remember someone saying that they were having trouble with the
'programming' concept. And some others that attempted Euphoria but
went away, seemed to understand Euphoria, but it just didn't meet
their needs or expectations.
The main issue of misunderstanding that Lobelia had seemed to have was
with the operating system environment. She was used to just clicking on a
Windows icon and expecting to see a user-friendly environment in which
she could work. RDS's Euphoria, as with all command-line intepreters
and compilers, requires one to understand a bit about how the DOS/Unix
command processor and underlying operating system works.
