i just heard the term "voice driven development" from a strangeloop talk @stevekrouse posted....but we've been following that paradigm for our new languages- stick to words and not syntax characters whenever possible so you could in theory dictate a program quite naturally, and it seems to be a good trend....if you assume an advanced editor, then the keystroke savings you get from using punctuation disappear (because of autocomplete, for example) and readability and accessibility and maintability increase
