there needs to be ways to jump into code without being bogged down with installing compilers and tools and configuring minifiers and choosing frameworks. just code straight away.

something that works for kids but also scales all the way into enterprise.

open about:blank, right click, inspect element, start hammering code into console. You can still get pretty far with plain JS these days without touching the quagmire that is modern webdev world.

Sure there are some other issues in picking JS, but it is both readily available and (somewhat) scalable to "serious" projects.

nothing can compare to saving a .bas file on a floppy to learn how to code.
