I don't buy it. In a daily programming actually writing code takes no more than 10% of time for me. 30% planning what needs to be done, 30% figuring out what some piece of code does, 30% debugging. Even full elimination of typing phase (literally, imagine some magic tool that directly translate your thoughts to code) wont be as useful as something that halves time for _any_ of three other parts. And static strong typing helps them all. As well as any compile-verifiable correctness.
People that have bottlenecks in actually writing code must be genius and never make mistakes.
