@sch I still think they should run/fund a lisp or FP summer camp for 12 year old girls. I guarantee it would be a fascinating cohort.

@starsandrobots@sch why not Python with an emphasis on problem solving? -
@voyageur_techno@sch I guess as a product of MIT I'm a functional programming Believer and a big Haskell fan to boot. -
@voyageur_techno@sch I kind of feel like you can always get into Python but that FP thinking is better training. -
@starsandrobots@sch has there been studies of this? I disagree intuitively but I don't have mich evidence -
@voyageur_techno@sch no! (and, exactly!)

@starsandrobots@sch when I was 12, me and all my friends got involved in a coding-centric FP-style MU*. Twenty years later, we're all STEM. -
@kalanyy@starsandrobots@sch what's an MU*? -
@voyageur_techno Cousin of a MUD. Something vaguely like a text-based coding Minecraft server. -
@kalanyy does what you used still exist?
