yeah, we have a strong intellectual bias. That’s great because we make a tool to expand our creativity and expressions of intelligence Kathy’s point is that we might be doing more to help others be great themselves through our product/tool/service (Pharo in this case) You do that all the time with your students They, as everybody, have many options to be hero’s (like solving things with Phyton/Ruby, etc) so our challenge is to have a smooth learning curve with fast positive feedback Clean API’s helps a lot on that because it’s like the UI of the code Great tutorials on how to do popular arctifacts (todo lists, blogs, CRUD apps) is something that comes to mind for making a bridge between theory and practical positive results At least that worked incredibly well for Rails and other frameworks
