About "implementing by words bit": I don't believe English is a great language to program.

It's not type-safe, not object oriented, not functional. Has poor tools to highlight syntax or navigate through "wordbase", doesn't fail fast. It has no tests and has too large room for machine or other humans to interpret it.

Very often it's easier for me to express my thoughts in Java, which is ironically known to be a "wordy" language. But it's nowhere close to wordiness of English.
