And if cancer kills millions every year and successful treatments are expensive and tedious, maybe someone can come up with a cure to cancer that is not expensive and not tedious. It's a hard problem to solve, but a lot of smart people are working on that problem, too.

Solving cancer is a fundamentally new thing that nobody knows how to do yet and probably can't be done by one person.
Taking an ugly language that evolved in parts and synthesizing it into something elegant is something that not everybody can do, but it only takes one talented person, and it's been done before. Craft rather than invention.
