   @brodriguesco Independently of these issues, I always found Python to be a questionable choice to teach programming to beginners.

   In French high schools, students discover programming in math classes with Python. Problem: Python is imperative, so the first reaction is “what the hell does it mean when we write ‘x = x + 1’ and then ‘x’ is a different value⁈”

   Functional programming would be so much clearer.
