Seems like equivocation — Smalltalk is a programming language when we're using "Smalltalk" to mean Smalltalk the programming language and Smalltalk is a programming environment when we're using "Smalltalk" to mean Smalltalk the programming environment.

Either way it is still entirely valid to refer to Smalltalk as a programing language.

As-long-as you actually mean a "narrow definition of programming language" otherwise you're saying one thing while meaning another.
