Yes, but I think the total-wiring you describe is how language is DIFFERENT from programming.

This might be a bit of extrapolation but while all human languages are very different, they all have recursion and learning to program is more or less harnessing the mastery of recursion that we language speaking humans already have. I've been terrible at learning learning but I can pick a programming language reasonably quickly, I don't need to rewire to anywhere the same degree.
