Can't see how. As the slashdot comments point out, people already do that by hiring humans who translate what they want into code. At a point where you have a computer able to take those explanations and produce what people want instead, uh, I'm pretty sure you'll have a true artificially intelligent mind.

Programming is based in logic, as is language. You're giving text/voice commands to a program that is translating it and beyond that it's an IDE.
