"We need to throw off the myth that software development requires advanced math and science – as it doesn't! In my 13 years of Web/software product management, many of the best software developers I've worked with don't have engineering degrees at all."

They may not have degrees but this doesn't mean they are not engineers. I basically agree with the post but this "be fluent in one programming language" thing is just stupid. Languages come and go, the principles and the math stay.

Anyway, Bootstrap is a nice project in this field, based on Racket (Scheme).

Bootstrap looks pretty cool and I really like the way its designed to integrate with the math concepts students are already using. And as for the language thing, agree with your comment about languages coming and going - the basic point is that need that we live in a multilingual world which requires learning multiple languages in order to speak to people and machines.
