Hi,

>From what I understood you want to invent a low-level framework in which the
technical terminology is substituted with common words whose meaning is
already understood by the average joe who has no experience in programming.
With this change you want to bring low-level programming available for
everybody to use. If this happened then more people around the globe could
take part in low-level development. With much more people having access to
low-level development, new applications, techniques and inventions would be
developed at an unforeseen rate around the globe and scifi technologies
could be at our hands much sooner.

That sounds great on paper but I see it similar to removing medical
terminology from medical careers. While it sure could be possible to do,
special terminology exists for the purpose of being able to accurately refer
to things. Sometimes commonly recognized names are not accurate enough to
refer to some technical phenomenon I want to discuss, thus they have been
given their own name such as a "front controller". I prefer medical doctors
to keep their special language with which they can issue exact medicine to a
patient.

I admit that sometimes it is hard as a Symfony developer to instantly see
what prerequisites I must have for understanding parts of its documentation.
However I do prefer that accurate terminology is used consistently across
the documentation. When developing a low-level framework for thousands of
application developers it is crucial to minimize the chance of
misunderstandings and not only for the sake of application security. Every
time something is written inaccurately, somebody posts on the mailing lists
for help and things on that end would explode. In the end all documentation
can, of course, be written poorly no matter if it's written in a scientific
way or not.

When talking about computers, some level of tech-talk is always required
even for the most simple use of a computer. Although I believe we can assume
that everybody interested in any kind of development already knows how to
start and shutdown a computer.
