I can agree with you that maybe, at this early stage of the game development, the "Code" part in the "CodeSpell" name may be a bit inaccurate. But nothing tells us it won't evolve to something RPG-like, where you'll have to actually code your spells effects with raw instructions to reach higher levels.

I totally love those games where the players bring all the value by being creative, when the conceptors have absolutely no idea of what the in-game will look like 6 months from now.

It's not about teaching raw code and basic algorithms, but using code as a tool to achieve what's in your mind, and I think that's the most important part to prepare someone for the future of programming.
