Generations of Languages in Classical Programming and Quantum Programming

In classical programming, these are the hardware and software levels and generations of languages

• Hardware
• CPU itself (with gates)
• Software
• 1st generation: Punchcard (entering 0 or 1)
• 2nd generation: Assembly (entering instructions)
• 3rd generation: High-level (C etc., entering logic)
• 4th generation: High-level + OOP
• 5th generation: High-level + OOP + Markup
• We're not here yet:
• 6th generation: High-level + OOP + Markup + AISyntax

We are actually at the hardware level in quantum computing, each quantum programme we are making now is a new design of quantum chip running on quantum system:

• Hardware
• Quantum system (executes gate sequence)
• Quantum programme (with gates, designed by a classic programme with eg. Qiskit)
• Software
• 1st generation: Entering 0 or 1 (we will possibly skip this)
• We're not here yet:
• 2nd generation: Assembly (entering instructions)
• 3rd generation: High-level (entering logic)

Designing the gates would be too complex, we should be at least at the 2nd generation in quantum computing tech.
