Did you ignore the whole "Nine Videos on How To Lua" and the "Giant
Video of FORTH-ness"?

Of course, real "stuff" is much better than pissing around in
Minecraft. But hey if you can get a kid to find interest in
programming via Minecraft of all things, I say that's still a success.


And if you want to complain about something; complain about the fact
that the way the Ontario high school's teach programming is ass
backwards. Instead of learning actually luseful things about
programming, it's "Focus on making pretty forms with Visual Studio". I
say that's much worse than turning the same kid loose with
ComputerCraft and watching them make something that actually "does
something".


Cheers,
Christian
