Journal IndianGuru's Journal: The Kid's Programming Language, or KPL 2

Journal by IndianGuru
Alexander Wolfe writes that Microsoft has signed on to promote a new programming language - The Kid's Programming Language, or KPL, intended to replace BASIC as the first step students take towards learning how to code. Indeed, KPL's affinity for .NET, and the fact that it runs only on Windows, may be the big reason Microsoft is supporting the new language. KPL, was developed under the direction of Jonah Stagner, and his colleagues, ex-Microsoft program manager Jon Schwartz and former NCR engineer Walt Morrison. The three run the software consultancy Morrison-Schwartz Inc. KPL can be downloaded for free. See the full story - The Kid's Programming Language, or KPL .

    Sounds stupid. There should be little to no reliance on anything. Just basic control statements, generic variable types, and straight-forward functions.
  • No harm trying and seeing how children react to it.
