Has anybody had any experience teaching Julia to kids?
This is *not* a joke, my almost 9 year old son has a science project due
next week.
He knows some Lua (which he originally learned from the ComputerCraft mod
in MineCraft, and then using the Codea
app for the iPad), but he's seen how I've fallen in love with Julia, and he
wants to use Julia for his project
(which is doing some tests of peoples visual and auditory memory, using
random 7 digit sequences,
and then doing some simple calculations on the results...).
He's basically a lazy boy [see the following link, to understand that that
is the highest complement I pay people :-)
(see
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_Enough_for_Love#The_Tale_of_the_Man_Who_Was_Too_Lazy_to_Fail]
and he wants the computer to do a lot of his work for him...
