I think the big issue with the term "programming language" is that nobody really has a concrete idea of what that means. As a result, pretty much anyone can draw a line in the sand and declare something is or is not a programming language. As consequence, an elitist can come along and use those lines to arbitrarily exclude people.
So, maybe the line is just "human to machine." That way, we can exclude other mediums like music, but keep the category broad enough as to not exclude people who use MATLAB, HTML, XML, CSV, etc.
For further actions, you may consider blocking this person and/or reporting abuse
We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.
This is really spot on!
