> languages need redundancy in their grammar

IMO extra redundancy makes Greek much easier to read than Latin. The upfront learning is a bit more effort, but then reading it is much easier. Unlike Latin it has articles (which are declined and agree with the nouns/adjectives), and the endings on verbs & nouns have way less ambiguity. I can certainly see how the same would apply to programming languages.
