Also pretty sure that kids won’t ever have to deal with syntax lol. For better or for worse, Human language is the new programming language, it’s just a specialised dialect and field. I do worry that by teaching coding and not programming we are shooting kids in the foot though. You need to ba able to leverage deep insight to lead coding agent swarms to create actually good codebases.
that's why most popular languages (python in particular) are the worst of all worlds - if english is the "programming language" why not use a good runtime?

lol. Forth is pretty syntax sparse, depending on the implementation. Postfix operators solve a lot of that.
