I’ve been persuaded by HTDP that lisp, or at least “beginning student language” (BSL) is probably better than python for non programmers - if the goal is to understand programming.
I still like “think python” as an introductory text to programming https://greenteapress.com/thinkpython/html/index.html https://greenteapress.com/thinkpython/html/index.html - and I’d still go python if the goal was a specific one-off outcome.
But now that I’ve gone through HTDP, that’ll be my textbook for beginners http://htdp.org/2022-2-9/Book/part_preface.html http://htdp.org/2022-2-9/Book/part_preface.html
Heavy book to drag to community evening classes though…
