Some of this seems a bit related to Wolfram Mathematica's natural language capabilities.

It can (in theory) do very similar things, where natural-language input is a first class citizen of the language and can operate on other objects. The whole thing came out almost a decade before LLMs, I'm surprised that they haven't revamped it to make it really shine.

No worries! I can't find it right now, but Wolfram had a stream (or short?) where he introduced "Function". We liked it so much we implemented it after one day. Usage: https://github.com/ExtensityAI/symbolicai/blob/main/tests/en...
Wolfram's also too busy running his TOE exps to focus on LLMs (quite sadly if you ask me).
