I'd say that query languages and markup languages are a subset of programming languages.

Your Minecraft example is interesting though, because it's easily translatable to graphical programming like puredata. You don't write your stuff per se, yet you're programming, with a specific set of rules, grammar, etc. If not programming language, how would you call that?

I think Minecraft redstone can be better qualified as a FPGA.
