I still believe those early 8 bit computers were great to introduce young people to coding. These days we have many options but also lots of distractions. At one point I tried to replicate that coding experience in a browser by implementing codeguppy.com -- I think I had partial success... What do you think?
Thanks for the comments! I know that is a little bit verbose but so tempting seeing that sometime young coders have hard time with {}.
I'm concerned though with "unlearning" this trick once they are ready to switch to regular JavaScript.
