I like how the author mentions having an executable mathematical language might be helpful. Math is a non-standard non-machine-executable programming language which means it's inherently buggy. On top of that, now I need to interpret the "code" while I'm learning and it can be pretty dense.

Much like in programming, I'm sure expert mathematicians may not see why it's so painful, but wait until a more robust language/system is developed for the hobbyist. It will be extremely disruptive.
