You can make that argument if you consider a language is more than just syntax. It's an complicated ecosystem, of tooling (compilers, runtimes, repls, IDEs, debuggers), reusable code (libraries, frameworks), conventions (coding styles, idioms, design patterns), and community. I'm not really fussed about dictionary definition debates anyway. I generally use ActiveSupport in personal Ruby projects. It just adds too much value to ignore.
