I suppose it depends upon the audience you are targetting.
Variables shouldn't be a mystery for anyone who's had 7th grade algebra. Thus, yes, an 11 y.o. might well need a bit of on-the-side counseling, but a 13 or 14 y.o. theoretically should, with perhaps a little support work, grasp the concept. And, again, here would be the ideal opportunity to include little, *meaningful,* proof-of-concept stacks to use, reuse, and educate (I must admit I've not had the time yet to d/l 2.8, so maybe they're in there, after all). Rev's claim seems fair enough when compared with just about anything else that is comparable (in terms of what can be created with the language), no? As for 'anyone who hasn't used computers before,' well, I suspect that they're also not out there looking on the internet for programming environments.

This is similar to claims that have been made about the current cross-platform, cross-OS GUI: - but it is not easy to use for people who have never used computers before. Working with an 11 year-old who had never done any programming before RR was not "easy-to-use" at all.
