I try to stay away from minute definitions of a language, as I see no value in the discussion. If I need to read, write, speak or hear about something in order to understand and synthesize; then to me, I'm speaking a language.
Some cultures mix English with their native language. To us it a non-understandable mix of two, but to them it's a perfectly legitimate way to communicate.
I'm a programmer, an engineer. Being as much as correct, or maybe clear, as possible is in our nature. Making clear distinction in kind of languages is important. This isn't about making one kind of language inferior to the other. It's about setting boundaries in domains. Ambiguity is a huge problem. This is a primary reason why natural languages are extremely difficult to process. This is why TypeScript was made, weakly typed languages, like JavaScript, significant issues in correctness which strongly typed languages have not.
I live in a country where English, and other languages, are mixed with out native language. Especially for English we have grammatical rules how these borrow words are supposed to be transformed in various constructions. But mixing Dutch with English, German, and French has no absolutely no effect on the type of language which is applied. It is still the same kind of language, so called natural language. But even with language language, there is a special class dubbed legalese. It's a more formal application of natural language, but way less formal than languages commonly used by software.
I don't disagree, but I do know that my knowledge of Programming languages has also taken on my own style in using them. It's similar to an accent in a spoken language. I don't feel that any one accent is better than any other; however; accent or not, if there's a violation in what is written or spoken; then that, and only that is of concern. It's exactly why I like Typescript because it makes me more cognizant of making things safer. The last thing I want to do (again) is to release a bug to production because of some really stupid accidental thing I did. I like Typescript coupled with Unit Tests because it builds confidence. I also love C# for Back-end work because it's safe.

We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.
