Static typing can’t be easy for beginners when they’re expected to cast a string to a number without variables having data type keywords. Type inference is often an example of abstraction confusing users with what’s really going on… If facility is your concern, you should go for dynamic typing where assigning a string with a number gets converted automatically. No kid should have to deal with that. Give them the full amount of abstraction, it’s the runtimes responsibility. Otherwise, you brought up some good points, Python and JS really aren’t as kid friendly as we think.
