When they invented the COBOL compilers, the assembly language programmers were scared. "Now every business man can write their own code!".

Same when they invented the spreadsheet.

Same when they invented garbage collection.

Same with every new library, framework, "its just like legos"-invention.

Yes, they make it easier. But, the world then demands more software.

Sofware begets software.

Without compilers, there would be many many fewer programmers in the world.

Someday we might have the computer from the Enterprise. Then we can ask it "Give us the answer to the ultimate question about Life, the Universe, and Everything".
