With policiticans buying into the "everyone must code" hype, the gap between what students will be forced to learn in grade school and what they need to become

With policiticans buying into the "everyone must code" hype, the gap between what students will be forced to learn in grade school and what they need to become professional programmers is going to be glaringly obvious. Attempts to introduce today's complex real-world programming paradigms into school will fail, so the obvious next step will be for real-world programming environments to become more like the ones used for teaching. The challenge will be to ensure that these programming tools of the future are well-engineeered so that the code they produce is maintainable.
