As soon as we can talk to computers to code, we can start actually make the language for it.
Think "include I-O, method int main take int argument count, character pointer values. Body print Hello world, Exclamation mark. Edit line 6, capital w for world. Move line 8. Return zero. Compile and run."
Start adding in gesture and stuff and you can get rid of the 'moves' and 'edits'.
And definitely stop thinking in the old-fashioned C way of truncating every variable name to some bizarrely short name and start speaking properly. Most other languages have given up this readability disaster already.
