I believe that the solution to this problem lies in
borrowing concepts
from software engineering, such as variables, functions, minimally
parenthesized programming languages, libraries, objects, etc. I know that
many template programmers cannot program in a traditional programming
language, but I have a feeling they could if they wanted to.
How well do those concepts stand up when you have a lot of people
copying and pasting code they don't really understand (writing an
infobox from scratch is hard modifying an existing one less so)?
