What's the difference between Wolfram Language and just any other programming language?
Also, one of the advantages of natural language is it's imprecision: it makes communication more robust, and leaves room for interpretation.. in much the same way as imprecise duplication of the genome allows for evolution, imprecision in language allows for alternative interpretations of the results.
Plus, if you want to, you can check interpretation and understanding just by asking some questions and creating feedback.
Actually, I just don't get how this is advancing the art in either direction.
