Tomorrow Mary Rosa Cook will be showing us a programming language for kids that she created in JavaScript.

From Mary ...
"A child starts learning to read and write at age 5. Why can’t they start learning to program then, too?
I am making Isla, a first programming language for children.

I’ll describe how I implemented the Isla compiler. I’ll describe the design of the Isla grammar. Why is there no punctuation? Why are expressions like sentences? How did I enable assignments, list manipulation and function calls in baby talk?"

You can try Isla out here https://github.com/maryrosecook/isla
You can learn more about Mary hear http://maryrosecook.com/
I also recommend playing a game she is working on http://emptyblack.com/play.html
