Is G-code a programming language?

I think it is with the O-words, but not without. And as far as I know
(which isn't very far) EMC2 G-code is the only dialect that uses them.

I wonder what we would end up with if we were designing a machine
control language from scratch today? I suspect it wouldn't be StepNC
which looks like even more of a dead end than G-code to me.
