The English Esoteric Programming Language
esolangs.orgI wrote an implementation of this programming language last month:
https://github.com/olooney/fourth_gen
It is a terrible, terrible idea, but it does work. It uses GPT-4 to read Python docstrings and magically implement working functions from English descriptions.
Lojban may be the only spoken language you could write a programming language in, a programmable spoken language... English, not so much due to its inherent limitations related to natural languages. :P

So that alternative doesn't quite work for writing "its own source" without quotes...
I'd like to see an obfuscation contest for this.
I think that's called poetry
It'd be fun to play code golf too. It's probably highly dependent on the niceness of the "English compiler".
Legalese is just obfuscated English
MBAese too.
e.g. "at this point in time" for "now" or "right now"
