Nicely put! Many of us feel the same way: how we are approaching programming through PL today in much of the academic community is contributing to those gaps, not eliminating them. There is also a chance to evolve the topic of programming to one of human advancement (among other things), the old approaches aren&#x27;t moving things forward so much anyways. See what Bret Victor did with programming topics in just a few short years, I see a lot of potential there!
