That makes sense from a pedagogical perspective. It's a lot like exercise though, if you're Arnold Schwarzenegger, you are not going to make sweet gains from writing a for loop.

You'll need to find people at your skill level to go against and this presents a barrier for a lot of us at step one.

My intention is the application to provide developers with the possibility to go on a higher level. For example:

- Level 1: Beginners (really basic concepts, just explanation of the syntax) - Level 2: Intermediate (more complex tasks, that would require developers to combine several basic concepts) - Level 3: Master (where developers will have to be really skillful and the tasts would be much more complicated)

My idea is when someone is just starting to make him fail fast so gets over the fear of failure and just starts writing code and learning from others.
