I think that this is the reason that the rust programming language exists: to make learning the skill too hard for a regular person.
much easier than C/C++. no more random bugs that make no sense and basically untraceable segfault crashes
My favorate quote about the language is, "it feels like rust was made by people who hate uncertan behavor." Languages with manual memory management are harder. On top of that, Rust demands you prove your memory management is 'correct'.
Programming is already too hard for a regular person
Yes, most humans have trouble putting what they want into logical step-by-step instructions.
