It was originally designed as more of a mentoring platform, so you would be led through it by a friend that knows the process. It's easier to trust a friend than a code review for a non programmer. It's also easier on the friend to be able to download just one binary and start mentoring than for her to have to find a bunch of requirements just to get the exercise.

It's enough to have to get all of the language's requirements installed...
