Make programming accessible to everyone

This challenge is public

Programming is something everyone should be able to do.
If someone has an idea for a great new application or game, learning how to program in artificially complex and convoluted languages shouldn't be a barrier.

Come up with an interface and an underlying structure, a programming language, that will make it possible for anyone to make a real working program.

Make it as easy to learn as any a wordprocessor or image editing program.

It shouldn't be a toy, this should be something even professionals would be willing to use.

Such things has been tried before, most notably with Smalltalk and it latest iteration Squeak (http://www.squeak.org/), but with little success.
