Personally, I don't think natural language programming is desirable.
I think the strictures of formal languages forcing you to think in slightly more narrow and constrained ways drives you toward the understanding to think like the computer.
I think for this reason, something of value was lost when we started moving away from the 8-bit machines era, where your introduction to computing was a bit of BASIC and then having to put your machine's ASM into the interpreter typed out of a magazine.
I learned more about making the computer do a thing from working with PETI's microcontroller than I did in 20 years of casual computing or the 6 years of python I wrote before that.

It's high time that #Europe, and indeed the rest of the world, considers imposing tariffs on goods from the #USA, given its enormously disproportionate contribution to #climatechange per capita.
