I do agree a good, open, modular, hookable compiler infrastructure is crucial to have good tooling (of all sorts), and the latter are essential in software engineering/development (thus very relevant for our industry). But it's not intrinsic to programming (the more general, abstract definition).

I don't disagree on the importance of what you are suggesting, only disagree on describing it as inherent to programming in general.
