In seriousness though, while voice input would not be how you do complex programming, you could argue that there will always be more specific and specialized tools for that.
For people who spend most of their time clicking with a mouse or pointing at pictures on a phone screen, I could see voice working with things like IFTTT to create simple "programs" or actions. That's essentially what happens when I say "hey Google, turn on living room lights at 6pm".
Someone needed to program the framework for that to happen, but someone also needed to develop the Arduino IDE that I use when I engage in the very limited hobbyist programming that I do. I get to use a simpler interface because someone more specialized and experienced created it with lower level tools.
In a sense, that "if time=18:00 then set livingroom_lights=on" command is a very simple program entered via voice command.
