A short look at [[Blogs:JaroslavTulach:Theory:History of Programming Languages|history]] can quickly explain all our sufferings. I did such excursion in [[Chapter 1]]. The  need for [[Cluelessness]] is shown there by describing history of computer languages and their oscillation between [[Rationalism]] and [[Empiricism]] resulting in more easy to use languages (e.g. for dummies) that produce programs requiring gigabytes of memory, tons of CPU time and sometimes enormous amount of virtualization to execute.

I believed my explanation was at least a bit entertaining, but it is definitely nothing compared to [http://james-iry.blogspot.com/2009/05/brief-incomplete-and-mostly-wrong.html A Brief, Incomplete, and Mostly Wrong History of Programming Languages]. Give it a try and read [http://james-iry.blogspot.com/2009/05/brief-incomplete-and-mostly-wrong.html it]! Very entertaining and in my opinion showing the incorrigible mankind's desire for [[cluelessness]] too.
