Is text really the end-all of human-computer interaction? Can you not imagine future programming involving teaching the computer what you want it to accomplish?
Teaching is hard. It involves good communication, breaking up what you want to convey in smaller parts, organizing these parts according to the model of the learner, checking that everything is understood by asking questions and doing it all again to correct the misunderstandings.
We can infer that having to teach a computer won’t be easier than straight on telling it what to do with a formal language and getting feedback. The hard part is designing the problem space.
Of course better, continuous feedback would greatly improve the ease of programming.
