You may be correct but no one starts out programming in assembly then working their way up to higher order languages.
However this is exactly how math is practiced.
Wouldn't it be better to start with higher order logic first, so students can see a value proposition then work our way down to the nitty gritty computation that no one needs to do unless they're advancing the field?
- ColinWright 15y agoI started programming with circuits, and then machine code. And I think you're wrong about starting with higher order logic. It's too easy to make plausible statements that are simply wrong. Learning the real nitty-gritty is essential to avoid sweeping errors.
