    I first started out with scratch, which is pretty awesome and kids can create some pretty awesome (and complex!) projects very quickly. However, I noticed that it is hard to go back and read - the scratch blocks once assembled are hard for the same kid who put them together to quickly read and iterate on.

    A concrete example: Deep inside a scratch game, I tried to help a kid update the code for an input method - but it involved moving so many blocks that it was a real pain. Kid coded Scratch is like lego - to tinker with code you need to almost break apart the whole thing.
