Literature is accessible and as a society we value the importance of ensuring that everybody has access to the power it provides. You can either believe that programming is for the elite /or/ that it is like literature.

programming should be for everyone. The UK has gone from IT skills for kids ("using Word and excel") to actual coding classes - it's a long way from good, and we need to see "coding"'alongside maths and geography. Sooner rather than later.

no it's it for the elite. see me for examples.
