Maven or pretty much anything XML based
2 comments

In defense of maven it does provide neither branching nor looping statements so refering to it as a "programming language" is hard to justify.
Neither does HTML and the L stands for language.
Notice how the M stands for "Markup" and not "Programming"
"language" != "programming language"
I haven't seen conditionals or loops widely used within Maven's XML.
