I read everything that didn't smell like "implementation", but I think I didn't really understand it. I had the impression that, put very bluntly, it's about teaching children how to code in an innovative programming language and using that to teach them science and analytical thinking. The programming environment would at the same time be a general-purpose computing system (OS?), maybe similar to Croquet/Squeak, so you can do everything in it, but you have to be an expert which is no problem because you get taught everything at school. I definitely haven't yet understood it and of course this mail is full of irony. I'm trying hard to not picture an army of little programmers and scientists. :) Bye, Waldemar Kornewald _______________________________________________ fonc mailing list [email protected] http://vpri.org/mailman/listinfo/fonc
