> what comes after programming languages
Isn't this like asking what comes after spoken language? Arguably the answer is nothing because language is what structured thought is.

I've always been interested if someone ever tried to make a sensible spoken word - use all the enunciable syllables of the human voice (go read wikipedia on all the sounds you can make that are defined by one of the 26 English letters) with combinatorial and sensible word structure and straightforward sentence structure.
And the, ironically, best way to define something like that would be like how you define a programming language.
Yup. Every natural language is. The reason we can work that way is that conversation is a tight feedback loop and people look for voluntary and involuntary clues telling whether the others understood them properly, and keep correcting until the (perception of) understanding is reached.
