I agree - I think it is pretty clear that there is a difference between programming languages and other languages. Figuring out the differences (instead of getting wrong ideas because they share some similarities) should lead to better words for different kinds of languages.

Maybe "Spoken languages" is a better term for languages like English? I find speaking computer code out loud just doesn't work except for some particular lines of code. "At dataclass class QueueItem magnitude colon int equals one..." is really not clear, if I have to communicate such code in words I wouldn't read it directly and instead describe it, e. g. "QueueItem is a dataclass with the attributes...").
