You might say in the same way that machine code stopped mattering when programming languages gained in popularity. Almost nobody will ever review machine code. I anticipate 90% of all programmers today wouldn't even know how. The move again is towards a higher level of abstraction; this time validation. Instead of describing how the program is to function, you define the properties of the system and let the fancy compiler figure out what the code should look like. If that means something that a human would call spaghetti, oh well.
