I don't want to disparage their work, because it's really impressive, but "fill null values of column Fare with average column values" is closer to AppleScript than it is to natural language.

It doesn’t matter.

It solves the issue of trying to speak obscure code syntax like “close parenthesis semicolon newline”.

That’s enough to lower the barrier to entry for many people; I don’t know how good it is practically but it’s disingenuous to suggest it’s not offering a novel solution to an old problem.

If you prefer that, why not just use a language like AppleScript or Inform 7?
