In our earlier thread on scripting languages, I had forgotten about
the OLPC XO. I saw this TED post:
http://www.ted.com/index.php/talks/nicholas_negroponte_takes_olpc_to_colombia.html
.. and started to wonder what *its* language of choice might be. I
think its smalltalk and python, but not sure.
Which leads me to: do any of us keep up with the OLPC program
nowadays? I've never "got it", but I have a grandson who might be
able to teach me. How can I help my grandson to get started?
My perception was that the OLPC had sorta lost steam here in the US/
Europe but I'm not sure. Any OLPC'ers in FRIAM? If so, clue us in,
please!
