I wanted to say something about how no matter how good computers are at understanding what humans mean, humans are still consistently bad at meaning they want. And something something, leaky abstraction something (... I didn't fully format that argument in my head). But it's already mentionned in the linked discussion.
Although, I don't see any reason why sufficiently advanced graphical programming wouldn't be able to match written code. It would require graphical elements that are more abstract and precise though, which would need to be understood. Technically what "codeless" is actually implying is "learnless" or "little learning required", which is where the actual roadblock is.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
