Description

@bandantonio

There are several pages that provide confusing statements and images about programming languages - not all the listed languages are actually programming languages. For example:

Page: https://code.visualstudio.com

Code in any language - confusing statement itself

The same inconsistency is duplicated on the page: https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/languages/overview

In Visual Studio Code, we have support for almost every major programming language. Several ship in the box, for example, JavaScript, TypeScript, CSS, and HTML but more rich language extensions can be found in the VS Code Marketplace.

The Language specific documentation section below on the same page:

Learn about programming languages supported by VS Code. These include: C++ - C# - CSS - Dart - Dockerfile - F# - Go - HTML - Java - JavaScript - JSON - Julia - Less - Markdown - PHP - PowerShell - Python - R - Ruby - Rust - SCSS - Swift - T-SQL - TypeScript.

The following are not programming languages: CSS, Dockerfile, HTML, JSON, Less, Markdown, SCSS
