This is a very polished site but I’m not sure I agree with your goals. It’s an impressive IDE however I’d focus on a subset of Python rather than a new language. Otherwise you’ll find people will dismiss it because Scratch is easier to teach (schools where teachers are developers) and Python is more useful to learn (programmer parents teaching kids).
I’m a software developer who has assisted my wife’s primary school / kindergarten with programming classes. So somewhat familiar with the problems that exist in this space.
- n8henrie 3y agoDo you know of a "subset of Python" alternative? Would be interesting to have a natural bridge to "real" programming.

- hnlmorg 3y agowow that’s a really well presented talk! Best I’ve seen in a long while. I found myself getting excited about the subject matter like I was a child. She definitely knows how to engage her audience. Thanks for sharing
