No big deal. Just become an expert then. It is not that hard. Just have a look at Ian Piumarta's work [1,2]. Future systems will probably facilitate programming

No big deal. Just become an expert then. It is not that hard. Just have a look at Ian Piumarta's work [1,2]. Future systems will probably facilitate programming on every level from the bare metal to the highest abstraction. I.e. no strict boundaries between the implementation of the application and the implementation of the compiler/interpreter.
