Re: Kids not programming? Here's why...
While Python has much to recommend it, I am less than impressed by its insistence on flow control by white space, and its bizarre abilities to change types on the fly, e.g. returning more than one type from a routine.
It strikes me as difficult to prove e.g. a numerical analysis is correct if there are hidden type conversions going on.
caveat: I'm still learning Python. Perhaps there is stuff I haven't come across yet.
