Some real adult programming language which can be used with braille terminal and/or screenreader. However as I am not user of any of those things I cannot recommend which language works with them, but I would definitely try python.
- jiehong 4y agoPython is quite visual by using whitespace as meaningful part of the language. I would also try swift playgrounds if the kid is used to voice over.
- notwokeno 4y agoI've taught many people to program and can safely say python is an awful first language even for sighted users. Invisible characters being part of the syntax is awful. Scheme IMO is the best for both sighted and blind people. There's very minimal syntax and I'd imagine a good editor with s-expression motions would make things much easier if you can't see.
- zdragnar 4y agoMaybe I'm misremembering my youth, but isn't recursion a bit of a tough concept for a 10 year old to grasp? Edit: I have no idea where I got 10 years old from, the post clearly doesn't list ages. In any case, I am leaving it on the offhand chance someone chimes in with a story about their kids learning scheme.
