"We change programming. We turn it into something that's understandable by people."
No, actually we don't. This has been attempted recursively since the 70's. It's not a credible or desirable goal. Programming is complex by nature. All powerfully flexible systems are. Being capable of (much less excelling at) mentally modelling complex abstract systems is not a trait that "normal" people posses. This is neither bad, nor wrong. It simply is. Ignoring this is pure folly.
