I love the idea and like lisp but the lisp syntax seems worse than both cron syntax and natural English.

Given the narrowness of the domain is there a good reason not to use English?

You'd have to ask the devs, but I think lispy people tend to live in a bit of a lisp bubble. I know I sorta do with elisp because of emacs.
