In case you’re not familiar, I will point you to the classical program synthesis literature. There the task is to take a spec written in say first-order logic, and output a program that satisfies this spec.
I think the biggest barrier to adoption of program synthesis is writing the spec/maintaining it as the project matures. Sometimes we don’t even know what we want as the spec until we have a first draft of the program. But as you’re pointing out, LLMs could help address all of these problems.
