Can we please just let this idea die. Almost since the day programming was invented there has been at least one person out there trying to dumb it down to work for the average person and it always fails. Computers are hard to program because they're complicated. Programming languages strike a balance between simplifying some aspects of that complexity and exposing enough of the inner workings to efficiently implement algorithms. Different languages strike different balances but ultimately they all are more complicated than the average person can handle because at the end of the day the computer itself is more complicated than the average person can handle. No amount of dumbing down or simplifying things is going to create a programming language that you're going to want to write serious programs in but that the average person is going to be able to understand.
