Despite the recent surge of interest in computers these last 40 years,
the most popular programming language (well actually, it's probably
a family of languages) is the language used to describe knitting
patterns for sweaters and such.  If you pick up any knitting magazine
and look at a set of fancy knitting instructions, you will see
lots of concise operators, subfunctions, and functions called
with parameters.  The number of people who can program in this language
far outnumbers anything to do with computers.
