gollark: HTML is probably good to learn, although it's a markup language, not a programming one.
gollark: CSS is important for styling webpages, HTML is for... well, content, mostly, JS for interactivity on the client side (and server now).
gollark: Eh. It's improved. Still problematic though, but I like it.
gollark: Well, it's poorly designed, more so than JS in my opinion.
