I am teaching my 10 year old Python using Nano, and he’s picked it up surprisingly quickly. When I wanted him to upgrade to VS Code, he preferred the terminal! Nano’s a great product, thanks for the hard work on it all.
Sounds great. Starting small makes sense. I wrote my first code in MS Notepad. Then used Notepad++. I use VS Code these days but can’t see what it would have done for me as a child.
