djlazz313785yI started programming when I was 11, and at the time, I felt like I was siloed from the world in the sense that not very many people around me understood what I was learning or why, so I'm glad to see that younger kids are being motivated to learn to code 😊

@Root I am ok with using python to get a sense for programming, c/cpp is too low level that clouds general programming knowledge from starters.
-
Root824505y@aviophile I kind of agree. I'm okay with people learning something higher level first, so long as they focus their attention on lower level afterwards. Qhy? If you only learn high-level, you will never be a good programmer. It will be nearly impossible for you to write efficient code because you don't know what the computer is actually doing.

@Root I agree, we “learned” programming with C but all we did was pushing green play button in IDE, pointers allocation vs was mindfuck and I truly learned those basic concepts after grad.

Root824505y@aviophile I taught myself assembly two years before I took a C class. Certainly made things like pointers easier to understand. 😅 Structs were amazing! I had to do all of that manually in asm.

Yeeeeeeeee! My granddaughter yelled up to me, "Grandpa, I'm programming!" She was doing some kid code game thing. Ten years old. I can hope, can't I? 😁
