Similarly though, I don't think any programming language is really "based on English" or "captures the core of the [English] language", in any meaningful way. So isn't the situation basically the same between English and Polish? Just like Polish noun cases, I don't see how any of the interesting distinctive features of English are captured by programming languages.
