I think it's pretty great. I didn't start programming until relatively late, but the more I study Haskell the more it feels like [an evolved form of] what I imagined programming to be when I was just a kid– busy syntax and all. Admittedly my misconceptions (I'll call them that because had I begun programming as a kid it probably would've been in Smalltalk, HyperCard, or C depending on where I was at the time) are one of the things that scared me away from exploring that path, but I one of the key factors would most certainly have been the tooling. The OP came up in my news feeds earlier today and I took a look at codeworld for the first time. Had that existed while being shown something like Haskell as a kid, I think I would've come back for more.
