Nowing syntax is not the problem
The idea that you're going to get the normal person to program has always been ludicrous. Having simpler graphical development programs make developers more productive because they have more time to spend on things that matter, but it was never meant to make Grandma a code warrior. The average Joe barely knows how to use their computers and network properly, let alone know how to design it. Knowing the syntax of a programming language doesn?t make you a good programmer, understanding the bigger picture and the flow of the application does and that is the skill that the average person lacks.
