Interesting. I'm a programmer too, and I fully agree with the
"opportunities to write programs" sentiment. APIs (of the kind you
seem to be talking about) are not anything close to being the
cornerstone of what I do, though.

Not everyone on this list is a programmer; those persons will
necessarily need a different solution set. I'm not sure a CL
program that scrapes the FTP error log is a good fit for a
non-programming scripter.

I would argue that a CLP that scrapes an error log is not a good fit
for anyone. ;)

(Plus, I don't take the view that "scripting" is somehow not
programming. But that's neither here nor there.)
