You will not deny “beginners” this: they will be all over it esp. if they can get up results quicker (it’s a huge mental hurdle just to see something working inspite of quality). The question is more of an educational one on how to teach good programming w/in this ecosystem.

I cannot stop beginners but getting results quicker is not necessarily a good way to learn.

And the best way to become a good programmer today is NOT do all of this but actually go even simpler. I’ve been thinking teaching assembly first is a better option for beginners.

Depends if it’s good or not but seeing “print” work for the first time, a loop on some data etc. are real mental hurdles for beginners. Now 10x that. I agree though in principle, it’s really a question of how to teach w/in this environment. I agree on the asm part
