Variables, yes. Conditionals, yes. Looping, not sure. Have to go

Cool. In that case, I will happily acknowledge that anyone who
writes such constructs correctly BY HAND in HTML5 is a "programmer",

abounds.
Some of the new features grafted onto HTML5 could be considered
programming constructs, no?
