Today, I just remembered this post that addressed many of your concerns.

"Why LiveCode - From an Educator's Viewpoint"

Probably, the most important reason to learn first an english-like programming language as LiveCode) is that it shows that a young student could understand and apply many essential programming principles just using english language.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
Young english learners have the choice of learning Computer Programming using a Programing Language that closely resemble their native language: Livecode.
It's Open source, Multi-platform (Linux, Windows, Mac, etc,) and Free for education and non-commercial uses. I just hope that, someday, people who speak other languages could have this choice too.
I was ready to comment but already found scamper_22 opinion that match my own:

"People aren't voting for Trump because they are amazed at his policies. They're voting for Trump because he's the only one (aside from Bernie) actually speaking about issues people want addressed instead of dismissing their concerns.
If progressives/liberals actually began addressing the concerns of people. In the stereotyped Trump supporter case, poor white people, they might get somewhere. Instead probably the only message poor white people hear from the left is... you have white privilege..."
My big question is: Why progressives/liberals dismiss so easily the real concerns of most voters?
I am starting to believe that SOME progressives/liberals actually believe that they MUST BE the leaders above the rest of the people because somehow they are "better" than their fellow citizens... and that is exactly how most deadly confrontations began.
Please, visit http://livecode.com/download/ and download the most recent version of LiveCode Community Edition (Open Source) for your OS: (Linux, MacOS X, Windows)
If you visit this webpage: http://downloads.livecode.com/... you will find all downloads available, including stable public releases, release candidates and developer previews. Choose one of the stable releases and install it in your computer. Then, you will understand why many developers still cherish and remember fondly, it's first encounter with HyperCard.
You could download Livecode's source code from Git: https://github.com/runrev/live...
Learn about Livecode's quality controls at: http://quality.runrev.com/
By the way, HyperCard found it's way to many platforms in the form of clones:
For Commodore Amiga, there was UltraCard (later renamed Foundation): http://www.dreamtimestudioz.co...
For Linux, there was MetaCard (today Open Source LiveCode): http://www.metacard.com/
For Windows, Oracle Media Objects: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/O...
MOOCs are really useful because they COULD HELP to create a committed Network of dedicated learners.
As many of you already know: Learning does not stop when classes are finished.
If I were in charge of a MOOC, I would like to learn from our students (among many other things)
1) Their motivations to take specific courses...
2) Their expectations and opinions about every course completed (or dismissed).
3) A description (as complete as possible) of their ideal MOOC course, including
Professor(s), Textbooks, Schedule, Academic load and Degree expected...
4) In which way this course helps them towards their life goals...
5) Would you recommend this course to others?
I see MOOCs as a BIG OPORTUNITY to engage people in a Lifelong learning adventure.

Why every bug should be named by the same people? Make a Name Contest for each bug and raise public awareness still more, about their real danger!!!
