That's what I hope someday coding will evolve in to, a conversation between the machine and the programmer over specs.

Like imagine if you could say "I want to make a top-down spaceship shooter game" and it just automatically did that. And then you could say "The spaceship should be bigger and have more guns" and it would do that. "There should be twice as many enemies, and three types of enemies." and it would make those changes. "The ship should accelerate faster" Done.

Then at the end of the day, you have a new video game that you "programmed" custom.

I imagine that's where programming is eventually headed. Truly "high level" programming languages that interpret your spoken or written intent in to code, automatically on the fly.

Someday they'll look back at hand-writing code by typing out specific syntax the same way we look at people who use oxen to plow their fields.
