Love this quote from the book from the about/why section

Programming languages are more human-friendly.

Early computer languages were optimized for early computers. With today's processors, languages can have far more built-in features that drastically reduce the physical tedium and memorized minutiae needed to write powerful programs. Because programming languages don't need to be as efficient for machines to process, they've become much more efficient for humans to work with.
