Programming languages aren't more complex than real world human languages. They're simpler, more strictly constrained, and more precise. That's to our advantage in trying to achieve our goals when programming. Programming languages are tools that are designed to help us to structure our thinking so that we can decompose problems into the steps that are necessary to achieve the outcomes that we are striving for. So the idea that we can do better if we adopt a vague imprecise expressive richness that's in human languages to precisely define behaviors in a computer seems to be very far from the truth and missing the point almost entirely to me.
