My wife started some time ago to slowly learn python as her first programming language. REPL is very handy. But I am not sure that it was a good choice. She will not see results visually. Maybe better choice would be JS with HTML and CSS? I'm mainly C and C++ developer and I worry about dynamic nature of python. I am not sure that seeing failure in run-time is all that helpful. But that's just static vs dynamic typing dispute. What I really have to do is to sit with her and talk. What would she like to achieve? Is she bottom-up or top-down learner? I was also thinking about awk. It is small and nice language with immediate results. Learning it requires learning regular expressions and I wonder is it a right time.
