My attempt of an honest answer to my best knowledge:

As @TootSweet@lemmy.world mentioned, to make a programming language closer to spoken English language, most likely (hi, Python, I am looking at you too). Which infuriates me immensely: when programming, I do not speak languages, I express data structures and operations on them, stacked one upon another. The last thing I need here is ambiguity, loose structure and information duplication (forgot correct term for the last one) that are typical to natural languages of human communication
