Could you build this?
Yes A controllable prompt/DSL translation layer between English and Python typically wraps an LLM API with structured prompting or an existing parser to generate Python code based on an adjustable slider parameter.
Discussion
19 comments analyzed.
Competitors mentioned: AppleScript, Cucumber, Amiga E, Python, Fitnesse
Concerns raised: Confuses LLM code generation with code execution/inspection, Still a DSL, not actual English despite appearance, Non-deterministic due to LLM calls during compile, Esoteric syntax choices (e.g., [[myfunc]](<2,3,4>) vs Python style), Name conflicts with existing E programming language
Feature requests: Support multiple languages beyond Python, Use Python syntax for function calls instead of custom sigils, Better for test specification/Cucumber-like test scenarios
