Hey all alot of people have asked us why we made our own language.
1. The gap from drag and drop block coding to real text based programming vast. In alot of schools - student typically do this transition from the early years of high schools. After speaking to educators, students (not to mention reflecting on our own experiences) it was clear that something needed to be done to bridge this learning.
2. Essentially we took languages commonly taught in schools - Python and Java and stripped them off their nasty, complex syntaxes to create a simple plain English language: Thadus. Although Python is one of the more simpler language its still difficult to code for young people who've been drag and dropping code.
3. Thadus paired with our accredited coding courses (3 month program) is that stepping stone.
