Historically, programming languages have evolved to be further from the machine (think octal !) and closer to the way people naturally think (think Java).
In the last decade or so this progress seems to have stalled.
But here's a next step -- Executable English -- -- emerging self-service self-explaining database apps, live online at www.executable-english.com .
Here's a slide:

Excellent list of sources. I have recently "discovered" George Boole's PROJECT PYTHON on YOUTUBE. It may not be for everyone, but I am finding it uniquely helpful for myself. The biggest change I can point to is his narration through each line of the program, vs simply listing the steps.
