> Programming today still means 85%-90% doing repetitive stuff. But some languages have more than others, which is why they're bad teaching languages. That's my point. > To be more clear, I don't propose to make programming easier. I do propose to make so-called "programming" go away, to focus on the actual problem-solving part. "Programming" to me means mostly translating requirements into code (without having to deal with decomposing and recombining requirements, which is the real work). Translating requirements into code is programming. Reducing boilerplate isn't making programming go away.
