Non-programmers should not be expected to program in 'C' nor in lisp...
... but non-programmers were able to program in BASIC jes fine...
I contend that non-programmers are able to learn rudimentary python and
work with it to solve real problems 'without' formal training in
'programming'.
Python is the New BASIC for 'people'. At least, it has the potential to
be that... people should be able to talk to their computers (whatever
we mean by that) and have the computer respond with real-world
solutions. We need to move away from 'canned apps' to a new day where
the masses can sit down to their computer and solve new problems with it
through intuitive language skills. Why not?
