This is what is said. So why do you appear to oppose?

Programming today still means 85%-90% doing repetitive stuff. Tools could do away with this, freeing the developer/engineer to spend more time on solving actual problems.

If you oppose to this, please state the reason why, since I'm probably fogged.

To be more clear, I don't propose to make programming easier. I do propose to make so-called "programming" go away, to focus on the actual problem-solving part. "Programming" to me means mostly translating requirements into code (without having to deal with decomposing and recombining requirements, which is the real work).

But some languages have more than others, which is why they're bad teaching languages.

That's my point.

Translating requirements into code is programming. Reducing boilerplate isn't making programming go away.
