programming is not impossible. a lot of us do it. maybe as you say more people should instead of believing it to be impossible.

but most of us that do are pretty frustrated at the how much time it takes, and how many artificial concepts we have to become accustomed to.

compared to the systems we use, the fundamentals of information processing seem really quite simple.

maybe, there is a way of describing simple programs that doesn't require months or years to master. I certainly wish personally that little ideas that occur daily didn't take weeks to realize....and I'm pretty sure given the simplicity of some o those notions that there isn't anything fundamental that requires that amount of brute force work.

and if there were a system, that cut a bit more quickly to the chase - maybe programming would become a useful tool for people that don't have the time or temperament to spend a couple months learning how.
