[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.

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.

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!
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.

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.

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.

Deephaven has huge range. It is much more than a classic "tick database". At its core, Deephaven is a Java application... and the team has evolved a Python-Java bridge (https://github.com/bcdev/jpy) so most people now use it as a Python-first experience. Apps and analytics are easy to write... as one combines Python (or Java/Groovy) with table operations and other Deephaven-Table-API capabilities... setting up a logical tree where data flows from one node to the next. This style of linear and iterative data-driven (imperative) development is powerful.

If you absolutely need to use a Python and not Java library, I would recommend trying something like either Jython which runs on any JVM or switching entirely to GraalVM. You can also try using bindings for CPython to Java like Jep or jpy which use the standard CPython interpreter .
