I think simplifying method names is a very good idea. However, please don't implement any sort of drag and drop interface. I've taught a few programmers using drag and drop tools and all of them have run into significant issues transitioning to "real" coding.
- leoc 13y agoBetter, probably, to learn programming through a drag-and-drop interface, then make a difficult transition to typing, than try to overcome both challenges at the same time and likely give up. Having done microcomputer BASIC programming as a primary-school child I can testify that syntax errors are just a horrible waste of time and enthusiasm at that level.
- vinceguidry 13y agoI think the problem is better solved by using a DSL rather than a general purpose programming language. You can make the syntax simple as pie and still keep the platform as expressive as you need it.
