gollark: I mean, Scratch less so.
gollark: Another somewhat problematic thing with Scratch (and the government here's "micro:bits", small single board computers which connect via USB and have a 5x5 LED matrix and a bunch of pins, and which they gave out to all students in my year a while back) is that they end up implying to you that you can only program things on dedicated special environments.
gollark: I think my suggested things would be more actually-useful to people.
gollark: <@241757436720054273> I guess Scratch may teach that a bit (though often you'll just be made to blindly follow a tutorial for "learn to code" stuff) but it doesn't teach it very *well* because it's generally lacking in useful constructs.
gollark: I always am except when I'm.not.
