It's a tool. Folks get excited about statistics, massive datasets, and computer science is hip again.
Would we not want a push for folks to experience the exacting caress of an unforgiving compiler?

Hopefully what doesn't happen is a fragmentation of folks into content caverns, where they may gaze into a mirror and see exactly what they wish, day after day. A literal instantiation of Plato's Caves, where scientific progress is frozen and forgotten.
