hey, i coded since i was a child as well but i would never say someone will never be fluent in the "mother tongue", i am sure you are dedicated but, don't stop others down, a ton of people learn later on in life and manage just fine. some people started later because lack of access, my first computer as well was a c64, i too have coded in basic, pascal and the likes, and i know people who has started later and just got their first job, i don't judge anyone who wants to take up programming later on in life, not everyone gets the same start in life and that is okay, anyways, ive met people who learned english and you would never be able to tell they weren't native speakers, at the end of the day, any language mastery comes down to time, and grit.
