Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

Pedagogical Downsides of Haskell
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].

What programming language should i learn to code games.
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

Ask HN: It's 2022. Where should I direct the youths to learn about programming?
Loose connection, but made me remember https://code.world/ uses a Haskell-like functional language to define still pictures, animations, or even games.
- My kid loves computers. I would like him to start programming, just for fun to see if it is something for him. But how to start, what type of programming language that is appealing. Books? I mean, we can start with Lisp, but how long will attention hold? Please advise, thanks.

Game
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.

Functional Programming in OCaml
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.

Why I Support the Haskell Foundation
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.
-
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm (SI is an AND gate, SAU is an OR gate)
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.
-
Safe Haskell?
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.

[K-12] Duolingo but for Programming?
There’s ScratchJr (https://www.scratchjr.org/) which my 4 year old daughter learned in about an hour. There is the full version of Scratch (https://scratch.mit.edu) and then there are a ton of other apps out there.

Hi! We are Dr. Amanda Martin and JJ Brosnan, Developer and Python data scientist at Deephaven. Ask us anything about getting started in the data science industry, working with large data sets, and working with streaming data in Python.
The real important thing is making it fun. I have taught kids as young as 6 some aspects of CS. Depending on the particular kid a good place to start is ScratchJr. Often it starts as just playing with colors but then they notice that with some coding logic they can make great stories. This is also available on ipad for kids that have not mastered a mouse.

Announcing: Downpour
This looks lovely! One nice addition would be the ability to record sounds and link them. This feature in ScratchJr [1] allows children to make animations with cute voices.

Anyone trying to get their kid to learn how to program? I'm a coder, can give recommendations :)
https://www.tynker.com/ is great, https://www.scratchjr.org/ is also great. Both mentioned by the parent up above too :). Probably starting at age 6 or 7 for scratch Jr could work, if you help them through it I'm sure that would help both you learn!

Depending the age of your kids, there as also scratch junior: https://www.scratchjr.org/

Check out ScratchJr.

If you were a parent with no experience in coding, how would you introduce/teach your 6yo child to code?
You're looking for scratch jr. https://www.scratchjr.org/

Coding site for 9 and 6 year old
The 6-year-old might start with this one - https://www.scratchjr.org/

You can now use ScratchJr on your Chromebooks(especially those made after 2017), underrated coding app for children but it can teach anyone.
There exists plans for a web version (on the GitHub repo), but I don't know if it will actually come out anytime soon considering the ST's laziness.

UI scaling in Android App
As far as I am aware, yes, there is not any other ways to change the font size from the system and from the app settings. Probably the best thing you would be able to do is modifying the source code and then building the APK.
What are some alternatives?
Cabal - Official upstream development repository for Cabal and cabal-install
scratch-www - Standalone web client for Scratch
dune - A composable build system for OCaml.
jpy - A bi-directional Python-Java bridge used to embed Java in CPython or the other way round.
reanimate - Haskell library for building declarative animations based on SVG graphics
Arduino - Arduino IDE 1.x
sdl2-snake - An example application for sdl2.
polars - Dataframes powered by a multithreaded, vectorized query engine, written in Rust
haskell-template
web-client-ui - Deephaven Web Client UI
hack-assembler - A Hack assembler in OCaml. A program that translates assembly code for the Hack computer into its binary representation.
