i really like this mythos argument that the first lesson is about communication to enforce the convention that languages should communicate this is interesting and trying to dream up languages that fail, or refuse, or do anything else but communicate, is fascinating.. what would a language like that look like, what would it be capable of? i do like the idea that conventions supersede standards, but hello world seems even counter intuitive to the programming convention of efficiency print("hello world") demonstrates communication, but also has the individual typing 20 things to print 11 thing out of the same editor thae typed into print(2**71) demonstrates communication and running code, as well as having the potential to elicit awe at the capabilities of a collaboration with this machine i said in the original comment that i think programming should be folded into mathematics education, in time parallel stead trying to compartmentalise education into disparate parts we should be showing everything's interconnected nature
