In stories about "another world", one of the most prominent occupations before being reincarnated into another world a "programmer".

Most of the time, this noun is preceded by "black company's".

There's a reason why "programmers" are linked to "black companies.

(1) The population of programmers is overwhelmingly small.

(2) Many people who are not programmers are the clients who order the programs.

(3) That the client essentially (hopelessly) doesn't understand what a program is.

This is because these three requirements are aligned.

In addition, recently, programming languages are becoming more and more "complex" while claiming to be "simple".

There is no doubt about this.

It seems to me that program designers are relieving their frustration with existing programming languages by creating new ones.

That's fine, but it's annoying as hell for the users (developers) of the program.

Of course, there are some that really aim to be "simple programming languages".

However, instead of being "simple", the functions that can be achieved are also "simple", and in addition, the performance (processing speed and resource utilization) often deteriorates.

However, I don't want to complain about a new programming language.

I have been quite critical of the MEXT's programming education, but recently I have come to understand that there is another way to think about it.

I told you a little bit about it before.

"STEM Education"

seems to be able to either "critically widen the gap" in our country or, conversely, "fundamentally solve the problem of inequality.
