I remember being in a conversation back in 2002 or so, where some Smalltalkers were brainstorming over the idea of controlling the IDE and debugger with voice.
It just so happens, that many of the interfaces one has to deal with are somewhat low bandwidth. (For example, many spend most of their time stepping over, stepping into, or setting breakpoints in a debugger.) Code completion greatly cuts down the number of options to be navigated second to second. It seems like the time has arrived for an interactive voice operated AI pair programmer agent, where the human is taking the "strategic" role.
