That's true for now, but I believe we will get there eventually. Who is writing assembly code anymore ? You can argue that compilers produce unmaintanable spaghetti assembly code, which is certainly true. But almost no one will look at the assembly output.
The next step we are currently in: a lot of new languages compile to C. And it produces absolutely unreadable code. But who wants to read and write C when you can get the same speed with a much nicer language ?
I agree visual editing may be more complicated than compiling / transpiling, but I believe we'll get there eventually, and people will no longer read and write css manually.
- steve76 8y agoC was fixed by adding another language, not trying to take away programming. It really is working at cross purposes. Write code without writing code, when you already know how to write code. If there was an easier way, it will be put into the language. The bulk of it is avoiding teaching lessons which users need to understand. There are security threats out there. It's one thing to prove concept. It's another thing to protect it against people trying to break it.
