> based on my personal experience coding feels much more like math, and almost not at all a spoken language

To me, both spoken/written natural languages and programming languages feel a little bit like math. :-) (no joke!)

I thus often tend to analyze subtle aspects of words just like one does code audits for hidden backdoors (admittedly - native speakers of English agreed - this is easier and more yielding to do in German, my native language, than in English).
