Sure there is. By your definition above, the "formal programming
language" is defined by ANSI X3.4-1968 and consists of such instructions

Generally, it is executed by an interpreter. (Sure, it's a very
specialized language, but there is still source)

Footnote missing. Sure, the KJV isn't itself. But it is when encoded in
ASCII. Or PostScript. Or any other machine-readable form.
