It's not so well known that one of the original rationales for "offside rule" programming languages is that it works just as easily for handwritten code as it does for typed.

Will we ever have programming languages that are primarily designed to take input from whiteboard grabs? (ie where not only handwriting, but also placement, connectivity, and maybe shape are meaningful?)
