This was interesting, although slightly confusing to read since it was written in the context of using the author's "Friendly Traceback" [1] system.
I would humbly suggest that maybe the name "friendly traceback" is not the most beginner-friendly thing, since if you are a beginner programmer you are perhaps not 100% sure what a "traceback" is, and why you would benefit from friendlier tracebacks.

- aroberge 6y agoI agree with you: it is a bit of a "chicken and the egg" problem. I see it mostly as a tool that would be used/suggested by teachers, and that it would possibly be integrated in some editors targeted at beginners, such as Mu and Thonny. I have had discussions with developers for these two projects who all showed some interest in doing so when Friendly-traceback is more mature.
