Counterpoint: A declarative language made and used to program a browser is still a programming language, regardless of its name, heritage, or differences from imperative languages.
Even wikipedia hints at this with a hello world program.
Can it manipulate data, does it have logic? Those are the only factors, it doesn't even need to be Turing complete.
You can write a composition and play it through the browser, but that doesn't mean your notes are a programming language.
Define "program"
Hypertext markup Language. Yeah this sorta reminds me of why I stopped following r/ProgrammerHumour on the old site - too many cheap potshots at Perl, PHP and HTML, as if they weren't fantastic tools that powered the creation of the internet we have today. Kids, man, SMH
Markup language ≠ programming language.
Markups produce layout, not code.
Typesetting (the Gutenberg way) produce books, not run the looms.
Well l take your point, but here I took 'programming language' in the colloquial sense to mean 'language used for programming' whereas you seem to have read it as 'turing-complete language'; neither is fully justifiable since there's ambiguity, but given that it's a crossword I think that's fine and all part of the game.
