basically yes.
you have data (floats, ints, symbols, tables, the data stuff), and control flow (select, route, until, spigot). i'm pretty sure you can implement a turing machine simulator with it (at least if you use the data stuff, and possibly even without).
the discussion only gets tricky if the person you are arguing with is holding on to some computationally irrelevant conception of what a programming language infact is, in which case the point of the disagreement lies elsewhere.
