I would assume that kids need to learn similar stuff to what they will use in real life. Scratch looks close enough to Python and JS but made visual that I'm not sure I see the issue. Is there not already a math class in school where people go to learn the low level information? CS and programming are separate. If we don't work in simple languages with clear axioms, then why not teach what people actually use? Lambda calculus is probably a fantastic tool to really understand the deep fundamentals and theory though. But I'm not sure starting at a low level like that is the best.
