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.

Was talking to my adult kid, who was sitting at the dining room table, while I had my back turned cleaning the sink. Things were going fine when I asked, "When you're done eating and dressed, can you empty the dishwasher?" And I didn't get an answer... I turn around an my kid's not there, empty breakfast plate still on the table.
(Don't ask me why they're in a bathrobe and having breakfast at 3pm. I have no control over that. Gave up years ago.)
