@noboilerplate@namtao.com the age old question of "is it a programming language" or not!
No matter how one slices it: there are cases that will inevitably fall under the definition... Even though one tried to exclude it.
"A programming language needs to be Turing complete!"
Okay? Excel is turing complete (with lambda). Now what?
Let's be more pedantic: is a recipe a programming language for humans? It would theoretically fulfill all requirements to be one:
Set of instructions, variables, the whole deal... (Even with differences in output because humans compile food differently!)

@hannah given that minecraft is turing complete, I think we should all switch to Redstone ๐
