I'll help what I can. I had a very similar idea, sparked by a conversation in college with a fellow CS major. He was saying how much he liked to program and I said that I hate it. My reasoning was exactly the same as yours, but perhaps broader.
I'd like it if we could get to the point where you say very plainly what you want in your native language (English for me), and then that is interpreted and perhaps more questions are asked by the program until it can implement what you meant. Obviously the problem of NLP is a massive one that will likely never have a perfect solution. There are also the problems of logical inference (if you think this is easy, look up the CyC project). I don't think we should let the current constraints of technology hold us back from designing something better, however.
