- jcrawfordor 9y agoThanks a lot for this reference. Do you happen to know of any other research in this area? I'm looking for academic work on the topic myself and not finding as much as I'd hoped for.

An easy way to find a bunch: https://scholar.google.com/scholar?hl=en&as_sdt=0%2C48&q=languages+in+CS1 https://scholar.google.com/scholar?hl=en&as_sdt=0%2C48&q=lan... ;) On another note, SIGCSE just ended so you can find all the latest and greatest here: https://sigcse2018.sigcse.org/index.html https://sigcse2018.sigcse.org/index.html
