I hate to butt in here, but TeX and PostScript are both Turing-hard.
You can't get much more "programming language" than that.

HTML doesn't even have the power of primitive recursion, although
the XML/SGML DTD recogniser has at least the parsing power of a
nondeterministic pushdown automaton.  I guess that counts as a
programming language.

Cheers,
