I think we're overlooking the fact that programming is hard per se. A program runs on a computer which is nothing more than a calculator with storage and peripherals. In the end everything is just numbercrunching. The whole point of a programming language is to overcome the "old days" where you had to use a computer for what it IS, namely a calculator. We did quite well regarding hiding stuff but as a consequence we lost control over parts of the machine. Setting a pin on your LPT-Port on high in Python? Just no. Doing the same thing in this guys "language"? I don't know if that will be included or even possible (if it is please tell me). But in the end you're still writing code for a calculating machine. Things will never be as easy as "Sort this array by comparing each element for size" because the underlying hardware still is the same. Unless you figure out how to make that easier, for example by intorducing a "qsort [array]" assembler instruction within a processor, that has hardwired Quicksort logic, you're going to stay where you are: In the low-level lands of C and FORTRAN with some nifty little masquerades, like Python, for the same stuff all over again.
