In reality programming is already fully automated :) Translation to machine code is done in most cases automatically. We just tell the compiler what we want the program to do. Honestly, if we treated software engineering as a real engineering discipline, we would already have 90% of software created automatically. We just keep ourselves busy by building same CRUD apps, recreating same layouts, building same libraries over and over again. When we start treating software engineering as engineering not as art, full automation of programming will be a matter of only few years.
