Let me approach this from another angle. Excel, effectively, is 'programming for non-programmers'. And many of the accountants using it don't even realise that what they're doing is programming. So what? It works for them, helps them do their job. Maybe in the future we create neural code interfaces that let us express our code in an abstract symbolic way instead of as a sequence of characters, and we think back on textual code input in a similar way. Obviously the relationship isn't quite the same, but there's definitely a parallel. Some people can write good code and understand it, others can't, same with any platform. So what?
