It's still very very far from engineering. Like, how long and how much one has to study to get an engineering degree? 5 years over many disciplines. On the other hand, prompt tweaking can be learned in a few days just by experimenting.

They indeed started years ago. For some time it's possible to run project with a Program.cs file that doesn't contain a static class. There's also the so called the ASP.NET minimal API. And .net scripting got official support

That's the same thing in France, where on average a retiree has a higher pension than a worker. Workers whose one third of gross salary goes to pensions, then at least another of net salary is paid for rent to live in a property often

Most but not all laws in France are like that. In fact, some of the laws applied in France are written... in German and aren't compiled in the codes. There is a whole institute (albeit small) dedicated to studying and make those laws[1

I swear it's forbidden by the language licensing to write any novel software with it. Actually I'm also pretty sure it disproves writing software by oneself in favor of asking others to (re)write their software in it.
