Comment on Teaching kids to program in their native language

Comments

This reminds me of an article from the late 80’s: It was about someone having created a new home computer specially made to be easy for kids to use (actually a modified Compis painted in bright colours, if I recall correctly). The computer had the keys on the keyboard in alphabetical order, “so the kids could more easily find the letters”.

These kind of things might seem good in the short term, but it does the kids absolutely no good for dealing with the real world.
