I agree with you. I probably wouldn’t invest much time learning patterns for solving higher level problems in an imperative way, but spending some time with a breadboard, then some circuit emulators, then machine code -> assembly -> systems programming will definitely give kids (a bit older than the target for this tool perhaps?) an important basis in the underlying physical reality of their programs.
