As in, visual programming? I don't have a ton of experience with that, but my gut says that once the problems reach a certain degree of complexity, it would hurt more than help.

Or, how about vocal programming? I wonder if, in practice, dictation might be faster than typing? :)

Yes, recently I've been interested in visual programming paradigms like scratch. After all Python was originally supposed to be a teaching language. Maybe in 2030 the newest generations will find text files archaic and not expressive compared to new types of visual, vocal, or even "video" animated languages.
