So in this wonderful future we're building anyone who wants to safely execute a transaction should be a specifically skilled programmer? Sounds more dystopian than other possibilities
You mean how in the current world we live in to do pretty much anything you need to know how to boot up a computer, login, open up a web browser, connect to a remote server over a tcp protocol, navigate through a series of special documents rendered by the browser, access a separate protocol called email, reopen a hyperlink from the email in a new instance of a web browser, and then finally you can actually do something?
The reason all those things are so easy to do is down to years of work optimising the UI and handling errors well- we’ll get there with smart contracts too one day
I get what you mean, I feel like transparency should never be a "if you're in the know you're protected, if not you're taking a gamble".
This is probably a good case for natural language as a program. If smart contracts can be immutable natural language contracts that can be proven to compile to code in a repeatable manner then we're making progress.
