There may be a misunderstanding:<br>
I did not ask whether the *purpose* of a program is entertainment<br>
but whether *programming* it has to be entertainment?<br>
The aim of programming should be to get a program running<br>
(as the programmer wants it) not to spend time with<br>
juggling gaudy pictures, icons and videos.<br>
<br>
In the end, it is somehow "entertaining" if a program works<br>
but this requires knowledge about how the programming language works.<br>
Ignoring all facts will never lead to a satisfying programming experience.<div class="elided-text"><br>
