I mean... Cool and all... But I see no reason this will succeed in the market space that the Quest pro and Vision pro sorta demonstrated doesn't exist.

It's a bit like if the motor industry really tried selling their concept cars. People would think they were amazing..... but too expensive to buy

Seen them once there a couple of weeks ago... I had just put my foot down to pass a driver and I think I was probably doing 45ish but no ticket...

Way too often tutorials say do this thing, then, do this thing... And almost never do they explain the background and rationale for doing "the thing". I am often certain it's because they themselves followed a tutorial which told them to do "the thing" and they don't really understand why

As others have pointed out. Micro:bit is really good & is what I'm using to teach coding to my 11 year old.
MakeCode is a good IDE, but right now I'm using the extension to integrate micro:bit with Scratch.
To be honest I wouldn't be ashamed of using any of these with yr1 undergraduates

It is incredible to notice that article was penned 30 years ago. The insight was outstanding. And to have failed to garner attention in the years that followed is a travesty....
