Yes that would be really cool. The field of program synthesis has made strides in this area but it doesn't appear you can create anything more than trivial programs from human languages at the moment. I think that you are more likely to see technology that augments the human significantly -- for example better code completion, error detection etc. that allows you to work much faster. It will be exciting to see how machine learning shapes developer tools and workflows in the future.
