This is great insight. Taking a more "technical" approach has its tradeoffs but so far, our customer discovery points to this being a tangible approach to try for enterprise use cases. We find that a lot of enterprises assign engineers to build in Superblocks but rather than a team of 100 engineers building out a DIY solution, they can reduce it to only a handful.

I am excited to experiment with in-product guidance and a/b test copy so that we can make things just as intuitive for those who may not be as technical.

Maybe take a look at cobol.

I know, I know. But it was designed for non programmers.

Their syntax in this case is

Perform . . . Times

The language might give some insight by offering a different perspective

TIL! That syntax reminds me of Ruby a little bit.
