It's funny, but I've actually used the opposite idea: approaching the grammar of foreign languages like a programming language. Most programming languages are just historic collections of arbitrary rules, most of which make some amount of sense. Most natural languages are the same thing on a much grander scale. Thinking about grammar like this helped me learn it properly.
