If you ask a coding agent to write a program that maps x to y given some (x, y) examples, you're doing a very expensive form of symbolic learning. In fact what you're doing is specifically a form of DL-guided program synthesis (that's what LLM codegen is).
However there are far more efficient (data-wise and compute wise) ways to do symbolic learning. By many orders of magnitude.
