That's the purpose of plugins/LangChain. For deterministic tasks, don't use an LLM.
Whatever you use for process orchestration should be able to make use of the LLM where it's a good fit and something else where it's not.

Plain old brevity. There's no need for semicolons and parentheses and the level of punctiliousness that a formal language imposes.

You can include downstream structure in your prompt. Still no need to design a language for it. LLMs understand imperatives like "structure your output like this."
