There is a catch-22 here in that in order to come up with new ideas, you need to be fairly well-versed in what kinds of things computers can do but can't have been indoctrinated into assuming programming has to work a certain way.

That is not a catch-22, that's a filter.

I'm saying in order to come up with new types of programming, you need to already know about how programming works currently, which limits your thinking.
