Programming languages are absolutely for communicating with humans. Source comments are just one trivial proof of that.

Your trivial proof is "this thing that is explicitly not part of the language"? The whole point of comments is to say "these next characters are not part of language -foo-, so don't compile/interpret them".

And if you notice, comments are written in a 'traditional' human language, usually English.

if code wasn't a human language we'd write it in binary, straight to disk.

I can see my belt, but that doesn't mean the purpose of my belt is to be seen. You're twisting my original comment to say something it didn't say.
