I read comments like these in bewilderment.

Have you worked for a company that hasn’t created its own, as you put it “mini language”?

Have you worked for a company that doesn’t indulge in over engineering, over abstraction and hidden cost?

Do you actually do programming for a job at all?

speaking of bewilderment, i'm not sure at all what you're getting at here.

because programmers suck we should make tools that make it easier for them to suck?

We should make it easier for them to suck less. It's like providing free needles. Druggies gonna drug, might as well help them drug safely :)
