I think minecraft fits the bill pretty well actually.  Kids make all kinds of things in there, and it&#x27;s not fragile in the way traditional programming is.<p>The article sort of gets hung up on form factor.  Tablets are yet another window into the universe of computing, and there&#x27;s a lot of creation happening.<p>I suspect that the real promised land will need VR for Lego-like construction of components and&#x2F;or AI-assisted compilers enabling a sort of DWIM programming.  As it is programming is just too fragile to be of interest to the &quot;laity.&quot;
