> why did you create this educational language? I also have experience with programming education. I was asked to recommend a programming language to a 14 year old newbie. My answer was Scratch, Alice or Python. But this is not what I would be happy with as a beginner. I learned programming a the olden times with BASIC on a home computer. But things have become more complicated since then. I then started to design a simple IDE and programming language. I was thinking about using an existing language, but it would have made it more complicated. There are so many languages/framworks at the moment, the chance that you work in your job with exactly what you learn in school is not very big anyway. > 1) tooling 2) ecosystem and community In my opinion, this only distracts from concentrating on the essentials. Meanwhile I can work productively with the language myself. Developing these games in Javascript would have been too time-consuming.
