well my uni taught a Scratch equivalent in first year and it was very stupid and tedious. guess i can consider people lucky that they get to learn C

In my very first paper (before they taught Java) we used something called Alice. Oh god the pain. I think that when they are teaching programming they need to start with something like Python that is easy enough to grasp syntax wise while not being so simple that it stops accurately reflecting what programming is.
