(Slightly offtopic, sorry) I think the best path to “programming by conversation” is to have a programming language designed specifically for that goal, so perhaps you want to research that. I’d say a version of prolog / attempto controlled english / similar functional language (to work on small bits of mostly contained meaning), a verbal repl that is carefully designed to explore data, generate test data, manage errors correctly, and highlight what’s important, etc. would be a super interesting project, that can then be easily plugged into voice interfaces.
