People argue that newcomers need to learn 'two things at a time', English and programming. I think that's absurd. No programming language (cue the COBOL people complaining?) is remotely similar to English, the language. Keywords are limited and it's a very foreign way to talk to a machine. Not a language in which you're going to ask where the next loo is.
You might recognize some of the things you had to type to make your name show up in an endless stream on the screen as words when you learn English as a foreign language. Fun moment. But until then, this is really just painting buttons in green instead of red.
I think the idea of that project is neat, interesting. But I don't believe that this is a good way to do things and I cannot imagine that I'd use something similar when my kids are old enough to start exploring this field.
