But how on Earth would people program PHP by using their voice? It's constantly removing lines, adding weird characters...its impossible to do it all by voice! The original thread is "the keyboard is dead", but I believe it will never be dead, unless the desktop+command prompt will die.

As for speech-to-text being too complex for a computer to handle, I disagree. Yes, it is hard, but not impossible. Computers keep getting more memory, faster CPUs, more CPUs, more hard drive space, better software. At some point, the hardware and software will be good enough. The question is when this threshold will be crossed.
Don't forget language changes all the time. Not just different words, but also different meanings, syntax, grammer...It changes faster than you think. In practical use it would be impossible to keep up with the evolution of language.
Unless....there will be a major breaktrough in AI software, a system that learns itself language, context and meaning. IMHO very Star-Trekish at the moment, but who knows!
Php would be a bare using speech-to-text rather than a keyboard. However, why the heck does php, objective C, and other computer languages have to be so unnatural to write? I want the computer to conform to me, not the other way around. I think we could develop a computer programming language that is much more natural language like then we have now.
