I'm going to be downvoted if I don't preface this statement: CompSci, know quite a few languages well enough. Good at it.

I sure as heck hope that when my kids are career age - they're doing something a bit higher up the stack than programming. Even if it's meta-programming. Programming is a convoluted way of interacting with business logic.

They already do. We don't have to touch a single assembly statement in our entire lives if we don't want to.
