That sound like an interesting approach and I'd love to hear more about it!

One striking difference compared to most "beginner languages" is the Lisp-like syntax. I think focusing on problem solving rather than learning syntax is a great goal, but does this particular choice of a language make it harder for your "students" to continue learning in another language?

I'm assuming they would switch to a more popular language at some point (with syntax that resembles C), so I'm curious what that transition is like for beginners.
