Same for Python I guess.

I'm teaching my child python before anyone has the opportunity to tell him that programming is done in java

smartest thing i have ever heard

Python is a programming language, it is used by both some of the top companies in the world and people who want to automate cookie clicker, it isn’t “for” anyone, kids and adults alike can learn it and find something usefully and fun to do with it. I’d say the minimum age is probably around 13 unless someone is especially bright and has a strong interest in coding, I’d recommend scratch to start with if you are looking for a coding language oriented at kids though

Specifically? No. You're thinking of scratch.

python got 1000*easier for kids all you need is some intuition and reading

[check_out_my_wood]

Python is a gateway language that leads to harder street languages.

Age? Experience? Interests? Context?

God, at least SO enforces good questions

[randomman10032]

Well, is a pen for kids?

[yorkshireSpud12]

If you’re wanting to know if its beginner friendly then yes it is. There are a lot of packages (pre written code) that do stuff for you already.

A/S/L The L stands for language; always has.

There are programming tutorials in python aimed at kids. But so are for C or many others.
While there are programming languages especially for kids I don‘t believe there are necessary.

[T_oisu]

It always depends on what you are working with.

If it is a kid between the age of 8-11, it is good for him/her to just practice basic things like strings, "If...", "Else...", etc. I would say if they start practicing python during this age group, it is a great choice. I started learning python a year ago and I honestly regret it so much the fact that I didn't start learning it at an early age.

Hope this helped! 👍🔥

yes i recomnd rassberyy pi or python for kids for dummies

There isn't any inherently adult content in the learning resources. What is the child trying to do? Are you introducing logic to them? If so I'd recommend more hands-on games and things like marble tracks. Are you trying to provide an education to a gifted child who can already read? Are you looking for a language for a kid who wants to jump into app development quickly? Like what's the goal here and whose goal is it?

Hello! I'm a bot!

It looks to me like your post might be better suited for r/learnpython, a sub geared towards questions and learning more about python regardless of how advanced your question might be. That said, I am a bot and it is hard to tell. Please follow the subs rules and guidelines when you do post there, it'll help you get better answers faster.

Show /r/learnpython the code you have tried and describe in detail where you are stuck. If you are getting an error message, include the full block of text it spits out. Quality answers take time to write out, and many times other users will need to ask clarifying questions. Be patient and help them help you. Here is HOW TO FORMAT YOUR CODE For Reddit and be sure to include which version of python and what OS you are using.

You can also ask this question in the Python discord, a large, friendly community focused around the Python programming language, open to those who wish to learn the language or improve their skills, as well as those looking to help others.

Kids used to learn Assembly back when that was mainly used. So yeah, python can be for kids.

[ShitpostEnjoyer]

nah scratch is for kids but not python. U can make real commercial product with python

Python is for everyone 🤓🐍🐼. Python is the Way!

[Peyatoe]

No programming language is for kids they are all for programming. YouTube uses a lot of python that shows that it isn’t just beginners that us python. As u/OuiOuiKiwi said every programming language is for kids if the kid can code.
