Odd. I remember all of the exercises in this book, but in Dutch for a monochrome version. (Over four decades ago, I was about 7 or 8.)

It's strange how the first exercises still haven't changed a lot, if you compare this with more modern curricula.

I'm wondering how we'll end up in a decade or 2, when AI has raised the bar for abstraction... Will we still start out with these kind of exercises, or will today's programming languages feel like today's assembly by then?
