Interesting stuff. "But writing in LC means that you have to master concepts and algorithms" I wonder which programming language (and I don't mean block-based baby-hits-the-Lego-bricks stuff) does not involve mastering concepts and algorithms. One of the things that has slightly annoyed me

I have a radical disagreement with Scratch and its ilk as, while it does allow one to run up simple computer games, it does not let users see the "guts" of a program, and seems not to give children transferrable skill for non-block programming languages. I have successfully started kids from 9
