What is The Difference Between SGML And XL, Programming Languages
SGML is a Markup Language, while XL is a Compiled Programming Language
What are Markup Languages
A markup language is an artificial language that uses annotations to text that define how the text is to be displayed.
What are Compiled Programming Languages
A compiled language is a programming language whose implementations are typically compilers (translators that generate machine code from source code), and not interpreters (step-by-step executors of source code, where no pre-runtime translation takes place). (Wikipedia)
While SGML is a Markup Language, and XL is a Compiled Programming Language
Let us now look at the difference between the two:
What is SGML Programming Language – A brief synopsis
Standardized General Markup Language (SGML) has descended from IBM’s Generalized Markup Language. It is an ISO standard metalanguage that can define markup languages for documents. It was designed with the intent of sharing machine-readable documents of large projects that had to be retained for long years.
What is XL Programming Language – A brief synopsis
It is created with an intent to support concept programming, a programming paradigm that focuses on how concepts residing in a programmer’s mind can be transformed into code constructs. Programmers can reconfigure XL’s syntax and semantics.
