Programming languages are also becoming more user-friendly. Classic languages like C and Java are no longer the first choice for most beginners, and many simpler, more accessible dynamic languages are now popular. The IDEs and other tools have also improved. Together, these factors lower the learning curve for programming.

Programs are more complicated, such as apps which involve front-end and back-end. These games that claim to help with programming only hide the actual programming or abstraction . People think they are coding but are not really coding. Moving boxes around is not coding.
