alt Hacker NewsGame designers in the games industry use Lua (and other script languages) all the time without being programmers. That doesn't mean that those languages are more "elite" than others.
Also, I taught myself machine code programming when I was 11. Just using a book (no help, no internet). So don't underestimate what kids can learn.

Yep, and I didn't know assembly/assemblers were a thing (as they were not in magazines), so I typed and still type (for fun) everything in HEX. data 3E,0A,etc.
I think the comment that you're replying to is saying exactly the opposite - a language that anyone including non-programmers can use, if you consider the strict definition of the word, isn't "elite".
