When did computers ever come with a compiler in a default installation? And when was that ever a kid's first exposure to programming (as opposed to interpreted BASIC)?
Everyone I've talked to who got into programming as a kid (as opposed to through school/a job) was through BASIC/Visual Basic or making web pages and adding JavaScript, or though some kind of game scripting language. For me it was HyperCard/HyperTalk.
None of them just sat down with GCC.
