I think natural language leaves too much room for ambiguities. If you treat it as code I expect you will run into frequent bugs and unintended side effects of LLM-authored changes as your software evolves. So I'm skeptical about this approach.

A formal language helps in this regard because it makes visible the inconsistencies that are hidden in the specifications.

Coding is difficult sometimes because it turns out the problem you are trying to solve is more difficult than expected (not because it's difficult to code).
