computers have become way more pervasive and basic coding actually isn't that hard. i think that maybe for all the hassles it creates when things get complicated, it may be secondary to next generation ides that make coding easier along with a general population that grows evermore tech savvy and ready to learn with each passing year. tldr; i think it solves yesterday's problem. people today are both more willing and more able to learn basic coding skills. the hard part for both visual environments and high level languages is getting the abstractions right for the building blocks and i think it's an easier problem with the expressiveness of text.
