Agree, something i noticed also, is that people who make PLs, like Guido van Rossum (Python), Rich Hickey (Clojure), Guy Steele (Common Lisp), Stroustrup (C++) and many others, they use natural language expertly.

They express their thoughts in a simple way yet accurate, they are not getting confused, they do not use a million "you know" and "like" hand waiving and getting lost in the weeds.

Stating that PLs are not absolutely the same as natural languages is true, but no association at all? Or very little association? Difficult to believe.
