[chbot] Web programming of ladder logic

[Charles Manning]

I don't think there is a one-size-fits-all programming model that can do all

Ladder logic is something that technophobes can use to write programs without 
even thinking that they are programming.

For "real" programming you still need proper programming languages: C, 
Java,...
