Basically my rule is that markup languages are nouns and adjectives, while programming languages are verbs and adverbs. You use a markup language to describe information and programming languages to act on it. Note, however, that the excess has often gone the other way. Far too many programmers use code to define large amounts of data (consider especially the early AI work in LISP).
