[OT] The problem with programming and how to fix it

[Alejandro Tejada]

"Programming could be much much easier most of the time.
This unnecessary difficulty wastes the effort of professional
programmers, but worse, prevents many people from programming
at all. The problem is a nasty hairball of culture and technology
and money that is not easily untangled"

HyperCard for "enabling millions of novices to build
simple applications"
