You assume that students have a PC or laptop particularly one they can do whatever they want on and that even if they do parents are happy with them installing development tooling on the laptop.
- einpoklum 5y ago1. If you'd read my comment all the way, you would notice that I don't assume they have a PC or laptop. 2. You mean their parents are Perl or Ruby fanatics and will not stand for Python being installed? ... Somehow I doubt that's an issue.
- gambiting 5y ago2) Some people have work issued laptops and know nothing about computers. They might be working remotely for a call centre nowadays, very common - so no, you can't install any tools on those. And even if you could I know many parents who wouldn't let their children install anything on their work machines as if that stops working they will get in trouble at work.
