How Apple fumbled a five-year lead in voice control

I foresee a problem with maintaining code that has been written with gestures or voice.

How would that work? Would your IDE play back the voice or display animations of the gestures to you.

It just feels as if text is the simplest solution, but I'm open to suggestions.

I agree, just trying to think of how it would have to work if it was ever to exist.

I would suppose that voice/gesture written code would be stored as text, when reading you could edit via keyboard or your voice/gesture interface. This comes back to languages written for voice - probably if this became feasible a lot of these languages would be compilers from voice to another traditional text target.

But like many people here I have a hard time actually believing this would ever be useful.
