Can this be considered as a programming language?

I've created a Python program which a read from a .TXT file , read it and compile it. Sample Program:

function func1,(x/y),3
print "121",arg..x
print "123"
print "124"
function func2,(x/y),3
print "121"
print "123"
print "124"
function func3,(x/y),5
print arg..y
print "123900",arg..x
print "1245"
newlist [1,2,3,6,8,9,9,9,99,9,9,9,99,9,9,9,999]@save
call func3/(1,"B")
end program

Prints

B12390011245

It has own unique set of rules , it can do loops , function , arrays , objects etc. I can even write some sorting algorithms in it. It is slow ... Can I call it as a programming language?

Solution

  • A programming language is a formal language comprising a set of strings that produce various kinds of machine code output. Wikipedia page of "Programming language"

    Seems like your project fits with the definition. By extension, note that many things may be considered as a programming language, including the Microsoft Powerpoint macros for example.

    If the question is : "Am I able to do anything useful with this language?", the answer will depend on the details of your language, which you didn't give.
