No, you have completely the wrong idea.

They didn't use programming languages as such - all they had was a "machine code" of naughts and ones which meant "play a note / don't play a note" or "include this warp yarn/ don't include this warp yarn". There was no "programming language" such as we have today, or even "machine code" in the sense of the output from a compiler or assembler.

They can certainly be considered as "the first programmable devices" in that they did produce different outputs from the same hardware depending on the cards / rolls supplied, but they weren't programmable in the modern sense.
