Most users (non core CS) of programming languages never learn assembly. I am just thinking we will have soon reached the next abstraction level, where today's programming languages will have become a hidden intermediate layer only exposed to (fewer and fewer) experts

Yes, it is a security disaster waiting to happen. However, I am thinking about the large majority of high-level users of programming languages that we form. Is this still relevant for them? I am more and more convinced programming is now too low level and will become a niche.

Good times! I fondly remember how I had to hack my way around to arrive at a formulation of the computation that would allow for efficient differentiation across a batch of distinct jets (and therefore distinct computation graphs for each element of the batch) 🤓

But do we need to know how to code anymore, at least at the level of abstraction of today's programming languages? (genuine question)
