Which is why I attempted support my personal beliefs via examples of Python uptake. Something you interpreted as an argument by popularity.
I observe that https://julialang.org/learning/classes/ lists only a single high school, and I didn't see a single course meant as a general introductory programming course for non-programmers.
It references the "Computer Programming for Everybody" essay at
https://www.python.org/doc/essays/everybody/ , which I argue shows the stronger emphasis on the Python developers for beginning programs, inherited from ABC.
I also mentioned Alice. "Because Alice is targeted towards novice programmers, it is important that Python, more than languages such as Tcl or Scheme, can be mastered by new Alice programmers with little effort" (quoting the 1995 paper at http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~stage3/publications/95/journals/IEEEc... ). But that was at a university.
Python of course is much more established than Julia, which is why I linked to resources from when Python was only a year or two older than Julia is now.
That said, at https://www.python.org/community/sigs/current/edu-sig/ you can find other teaching resources for high school teaching and for "kids" and "young children". My local library here in Sweden has a book on programming for kids, which uses Python.
Is there a similar movement as CP4E within the Julia? Nothing from https://julialang.org/learning/ suggests that the needs of non-programmers, such as high school students, plays a strong role in its design.
Do you know of any such internal movement? Can you point me to any external resources which show Julia being used as a teaching language for non-programmers?
