I wish I had the patience to program again. Getting older, my perspective has changed. I can't stop looking at most programming languages as primitive constructs to craft computer code. At this point, we should be able to articulate pure business logic and requirements in very simple expressions (by voice or finger) that would then be modeled and generated by a computer. We wouldn't have to sweat out all of the idiosyncrasies of syntax and grammar of software infrastructure and rudimentary expressions but instead spend time on the real creativity of programming--coming up with abstract concepts and ideas that would be converted automatically by computer into functional programs.

Sorry... guess it had been a while since I'd gotten this off my chest.
Love the [/rant] bbcode tag
I keep telling myself that I'm going to learn. I got to an average standard with VB and C#, but I stopped during revision for my A-levels and when I came to pick up where I left off, I had forgotten so much of it, it didn't seem worthwhile. I want to get to a very good standard of C#, then possibly look into starting C++. C++ syntax looks horrific compared to C# though!
