Visual programming system such as Scratch eliminates spelling as a source of frustration for younger kids and especially those whose native tongue is not english (on which the syntax of most programming languages is based on). The logic of programming however, exposes the developer to exactly the same mental processes as programming with a typed language would. I've watched my son programming Scratch and I can guarantee even the typical the bugs are there in same form as in C++. "Why is this not working - oh, I need to initialize this variable not here but inside this loop" and so on.
