That sets the upper limit to infinity, so it's a non-statement. > Because it's easier to learn It's easier to write, because there are no syntax or compiler errors. AST-constrained editing (e.g. lamdu[1]) will be very useful. But the lowest-common denominator cannot be "overtaken". That is why stdio is a binary stream, webapps are compiled to javascript, and programming is represented as text. Any advanced programming language that can't be represented and manipulated by ubiquitous tools will lose to one that does, so text will never--yes, never--be replaced as the common vernacular, for better or worse. To paraphrase Stephen Kell[2], Smalltalk lost because for whatever reason the people who hadn't yet "seen the light" continued to communicate and interoperate with each other. 1: http://www.lamdu.org/ http://www.lamdu.org/ 2: https://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~srk31/research/papers/kell13operating.pdf https://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~srk31/research/papers/kell13operat...
