Interesting, are there other languages that they find easier to read and write?
And ... very interesting... what are the pain points when interacting with compiler/interpreter messages, in your experience? Are they introduced early on?
- ywei3410 6y agoI haven't found one; and I hypothesize that if one were to exist it wouldn't be useful. Ironically, the GPT code generators are probably the closest - where the syntax is inexact and ambiguous. I'm not entirely sure - but the terseness of the message and the out of the way location meant that the students... mostly ignored the errors. I think having a pedagogic IDE [1] which would /massive/ highlighting and really verbose errors may have helped; but that's entirely my speculation.
