> making an iPad-native environment for programming Why be US-centric? > Things like using a cursor in a multi-line text input are not natural for kids in early grades Sure it is. In past decades, many children start working their family computer at ages 6-10. Maybe they started with games like Space Invaders or Digger or Xonix, but soon enough they were editing text files. > it is just really boring to struggle with syntax and typing Yeah, so let's not teach children to express themselves in writing... that stuff is boring.
