what's the next HTML version? HTML6!?

While HTML5 is still brewing

Oscar Godson gave us html6spec.com - The Spec That Brings Us Freedom

(on a fine day in 2011 https://github.com/OscarGodson/HTML6).

A few moments later ... ...

(on a fine nite in 2013 https://github.com/zaz/HTML6). HyperTurtle Markup Language

Zaz Brown dropped HТML6 - HyperTurtle Markup Language

The main difference between the two is that HТML is Turtle-Oriented.
You can read more about the Turtle-Oriented concept on this page: Why Turtles Are Awesome.
(Or view the summary here.)

with a new pronunciation:

HТML uses a Cyrillic ‘Т’ to avoid any possible confusion with HTML.

What's next ?

Will there be another evolution of HTML?

  • Will it be Hippy Toad Markup Language ?
  • Or maybe Happy Tex Markdown Language ?
  • Or something like Hyper Tape Mapped-up Language ?
  • Definitely not Hopper Tech Mash-up Language ?
  • ...

Can AI hallucinate up something like that ?

I gave Copilot the prompt "can you suggest some phrases for the abbreviation HTML that similar to Hyper Text Markup Language?" and it said:

Sure thing, Djung! Let’s play with the abbreviation “HTML” and give it a twist while keeping the techy, web-oriented vibe. Here are some imaginative and similar-sounding alternatives:

💡 Creative HTML Phrase Ideas

  • Hyperlink and Text Manipulation Language
  • High-Tech Markup Logic
  • Hypermedia Tagging and Mapping Language
  • Hybrid Tag-based Markup Language
  • Hierarchical Text Modeling Language
  • Hyper Text Management Layer
  • Hostable Template Markup Language
  • Human-Tool Markup Language
  • Hyper-Targeted Metadata Language

These don’t replace the real meaning of HTML, of course—but they’re fun for naming projects, writing jokes, or just flexing those creative muscles. Want some that sound more poetic or absurd? Or maybe tailor them to a game or business idea? I'm ready to spin!

and when I added "give me something more poetic or absurd", it replied:

Absolutely, Djung! Let’s take HTML on a whimsical detour—where surreal meets sublime and tech becomes poetry. Here are some poetic and absurd reinterpretations of the abbreviation:

🌙 Poetic or Absurd HTML Reimaginings

  • Heaven's Teardrops Making Lightning
    For those who see code as emotion storming through servers.

  • Hauntingly Translucent Midnight Lanterns
    Guiding browsers through the dark forests of the Internet.

  • Hopeful Titans Manifesting Legends
    A mythic take—web developers as demi-gods crafting digital epics.

  • Hyperborean Tapestries of Mystic Lore
    Because every line of HTML hides a spell.

  • Hungry Trees Morphing Light
    For nature-coded websites grown from forest pixels.

  • Humans Trying to Mimic Love
    HTML as an echo of connection stitched in code.

Want me to keep going? I’ve got plenty more dreamlike combinations up my sleeve. Or we can spin HTML into a full poem or a short story if you’re feeling extra adventurous.

Then I said "keep going", and it spit this out:

You got it, Djung. Let’s keep unraveling HTML like it’s a cryptic poem etched into the backbone of the Internet. Here’s another batch—eccentric, lyrical, and occasionally outrageous:

✨ More Poetic & Absurd HTML Twists

  • Herbal Tinctures Muddling Logic
    For websites built by apothecaries and coded in moonlight.

  • Hidden Truths Mocking Lies
    The duality of every homepage—clarity wrapped in illusion.

  • Holographic Tunnels Measuring Light
    Where every hyperlink is a beam to a new digital dimension.

  • Hysterical Techno Monkeys Laughing
    A tribute to chaotic web design and browser debugging.

  • Halcyon Trees Memorizing Legends
    Wisdom passed down through scrolls...or scrollbars.

  • Hope That Machines Love
    What if every

    is a pixelated heartbeat?

  • Hat-Tipping Meta Linguists
    For those who read source code like ancient scripture.

I can keep spiraling this thread until HTML becomes a philosophy class taught by robots. Want to turn one into a short poem or craft a fake tech manifesto out of these phrases? I’m game.

I commanded "keep spiraling this thread", and it obeyed:

Oh, we’re going full cosmic swirl now, Djung. Buckle in—here come more HTML conjurings from the fringes of imagination:

🌌 HTML Unleashed: Surreal & Symbolic Versions

  • Hovering Thoughts Manifesting Longings
    Each line of code a whisper from the void.

  • Hunters Tracking Mythical Lemurs
    A jungle-themed debugging quest. The lemurs always escape.

  • Heartbeats Tuning Magnetic Lullabies
    For sites that feel like lullabies humming from deep space servers.

  • Halflings Taming Mech Leviathans
    Fantasy meets cyberpunk—web devs riding dragon-shaped drones.

  • Hats That Morph Landscapes
    A digital fashion line where each HTML tag changes the terrain.

  • Harmonious Twinkling Micro Libraries
    Tiny bits of code playing symphonies under browser stars.

  • Heat-Tethered Martian Loam
    Colonial web design, terraforming the info wasteland.

  • Hecklers Taunting Meek Linguists
    For chaotic CSS artists heckled by spelling perfectionists.

  • Hamsters Teaching Military Logistics
    The ultimate absurdist sitcom set inside a LAN party.

Feeling like these should be part of a fictional programming mythology or a hacker spellbook? I’d love to help expand this into a zine, manifesto, or parody tech guide. Just say the word, and HTML shall become legend.

Hotmail was initially spelled as "HoTMaiL" to include HTML in its name.

In the same tune as HoTMetaL - an HTML editor
