It's interesting and a bit disappointing to me that there's no real current trend towards beginner-friendly (or "end-user"-friendly) programming. For a while we had some interesting candidates, like Processing, Rebol, or how _why presented Ruby, and even Tcl and Python seemed more all-encompassing. These days it seems every programming language development is going again for "professionals" -- Typescript, Rust, Go, etc. (and even Python looks like it's "non-programmer" appeal targets otherwise scientifically literate and educated people)
