codeworld VS futurecoder

Code World[1] is a great project that addresses a number of the problems from the article, with an eye towards using Haskell to teach children basic math and programming simultaneously. Code World directly addresses a number of the obstacles outlined in this article:

1. Using an online editor with a rich built-in library removes any toolchain problems.

2. A custom standard library simplifies pedagogically unnecessary details like Foldable

3. The custom standard library also avoids currying (f(a, b) for functions rather than f a b)

4. Custom error messages improve the feedback students get from the compiler

I would highly recommend Code World to anybody looking to teach programming with Haskell. If you want to teach Haskell in a way that fits the existing ecosystem, it's also possible to run Code World without the custom standard library[2].

Alternatively, I'm a big fan of https://code.world which is specifically geared towards learners who want to work up to making simple games. It's kind of a toy, but imo resembles a "real" programming language a lot more than other educational programming languages

Loose connection, but made me remember https://code.world/ uses a Haskell-like functional language to define still pictures, animations, or even games.

I second gloss! It's a bit limited (no sound, fonts, nor even text centering, but you do have support for vector and bitmap graphics, color manipulation, mouse, keyboard, and animations), but it's so, so easy to use that I not only recommend it (or the similar Code World) for anybody's first game, I still use it for my newer games.

Try https://code.world/

Two that I can think of:

- Bootstrap teaches a toned-down version of Racket (i.e. Scheme): https://bootstrapworld.org/materials/spring2021/en-us/course... . It's taught in some schools as well as a comp sci curriculum.

- https://code.world/ teaches using a toned-down version of Haskell. To my knowledge it's not used in schools.

I had the silly 'fromString' error you get when using RebindableSyntax but had forgotten what to do next. Quick Google search and I hit on codeworld #59.

That's a matter of tooling and environment. You can have a look at examples of drawing animations with physics simulation and user input at https://code.world. It's pure Haskell code without any scary abstractions, just functions from state to the next state.

I'm not a user myself, but I understand Lambdabot and mueval depend on it. More generally, anything that executes Haskell code supplied by untrusted users would fit the bill. I don't know if CodeWorld for example allows user-supplied modules, but if it did they'd have to be Safe.

I have recently found a neat new (to me) resource for learning Python. It's called futurecoder and you can find it at https://futurecoder.io.

If you’re interested in learning Python, i’ve been messing around with this site today and it’s been pretty cool! link

here's how I started my journey (SWE at aerospace now)

1.https://futurecoder.io/

futurecoder — interactive, includes integrated debuggers, enhanced tracebacks, hints for exercises and more

I really enjoyed https://futurecoder.io when starting. It makes diving deeper into udemy courses very easy, and helps to actually read and understand code.

As for courses, there are many great, free Python courses on YouTube, but I recommend this Harvard CS50 Intro to Programming with Python course. Or, if you are looking for something a bit more interactive, check out futurecoder.io. I just discovered it recently, and it is great (completely free, as well).

I believe your application needed to be "complete" in order to be eligible. Good luck next time! There's also lots of other resources for learning python like Coursera's programming for everybody or http://futurecoder.io
