What are the differences commonalities between programming and natural languages? Share your thoughts.

Question

As an example, I was thinking that languages with the same root share the same syntax but have different vocabularies (like neo latin languages). In code languages instead, it is more common that the kewords used are the same but the syntax changes. E.g.: use or not of the ";" to end a statement.

Answer 1

There are certainly trends and cross proliferation.

There is also the term "curly braces language" including C, Java and more.
