If only we libraries online of boilerplate crap with a few options to transfom them slightly... We'd need a lot less datacentres

    We should have tools and libraries that help us avoid boilerplate, not ones that help us write more of it.

    Yes!

    I'm not even a programmer, but lot of this is really dictated by the language, isn't it? (C or .Net, for example - and all the default crap needed for UI elements I've had to endure in Powershell, which was probably calling a .Net library)

    C at least has a preprocessor. C# has almost nothing except generators, which are a huge pain in the ass. Java seems to be similar.

    Lisp is the greatest. Everything else is in between.
