I'm doing https://bialet.dev a web framework for simple web apps with idea to get back to have a fully static HTML first, and then you code the dynamic part.

It's based on the Object-Oriented scripting language Wren, it's fully integrated with SQLite, and it has a sort of JSX for the HTML (it's actually strings and interpolations, being part of the language).

Argentinian here. I agree with almost everything in this article. Except for

high-inflation Argentina has almost no mortgage industry.

Real state is 100% dollarized since the late 70s [1]. It is not just about inflation because you can have adjusted interest rates [2]. We don't have mortgages because of the government currency exchange restrictions, and also our salaries didn't adjust as much as the inflation rates.

Another native speaker here. I disagree with most of you.

When I was a kid I played a Captain Tsubasa NES game that was completely in japanese. I have no idea of the meaning of the Kanji characters I choose but I know pretty well what I was doing in short time. I could play the game through trial and error. So no, you don't need to know actual english to code.

Now, you and me were invested. We want to code and we were willing to learn how to code even without knowing what was the meaning of the english words we use. Just like the way I played that game. A lot of people is learning how to code like they learn basic math. They are not invested. They know is useful however didn't want to learn it. This tool is good for them.

I still don't like the name and also don't like they don't allow tildes and ñ. I also think scratch.mit.edu is a better tool for people starting to learn how to code.
