Talk:Coding Tutor

Hackety hack is amazing. One of the most amazing things about it is its interactivity. I suggest that by going with C/C++, you will inevitably lose some of that immediate feedback. Python, on the other hand is made to work in a shell.

Besides, python is a much better language for beginners - with real power and expressiveness, it still keeps a simple, easy-to-read syntax. And there's less housekeeping - a C hello world is inevitably a majority of stuff that a beginner won't understand - a python "print 'hello world'" is much more gentle.

And one final argument - if you use python, it will work with my own proposed source-code translating thingy. What good is an amazing tutorial stuck in English, if the majority of XO users will speak other languages?

I could go on. Heck, the XO doesn't even ship with automake etc.

Honestly, I can't even imagine this coming out good in C, whereas with Python you could hope to rival Hackety Hack's sublimeness.

This software seems to be very useful and successful in the future given it makes learning easy and simple. An API or doveliopment kit can be created fot the help of community members allowing them to create their own tutorials and submit making this tutor reach consummation.This development kit will also widen the prospects of this software to be implemented for all languages.Such tutorials will make learning really easy and efficient.
