Awesome! will try this out with my 10 year old and 6 year old who I want to get started with coding, as I'm not so keen on kid-focused options which abstract the actual coding away with "cute" visual representations (conditionals, loops, variables are not difficult concepts to grasp). IMO Ruby is the best language for teaching coding to kids (I taught it to my daughter when she was 10, years ago, she's now a SWE with a ChemEng degree) but there are more tools for Python these days, so perhaps a better choice for my younger ones.
Thanks for making open source! |

I can't comment on what exists or what's possible in Ruby, but futurecoder does indeed have a lot of specific magical features that I wouldn't know how to replicate in any other language.
