I know of one attempt for natural language programming, 
Hypertalk, the language of the Hypercard multimedia tool Apple 
developped in the 1990's. The tool was very interesting in 
itself, but the programming language is very limited and quite 
verbose due to the choice of being a natural language. I suspect 
it is the case of all natural languages used as programming 
languages. Apart maybe in artificial intelligence, I believe 
natural language has no useful use.
