I agree with you on a theoretical level, but arguably we should not be the ones to bear the complexity of that decision — the representation of a given data is very important for our “limited” human brains.

I think the major problem here is shoehorning everything into a “symbol soup” on a 2D matrix. I do get that it has plenty advantages (can be typed without special program, easier version control, etc), but I would like to see a resurrection of interest in visual language. I’m not meaning something as visual as scratch or so, but some special blocks could come in handy.
