Hi, Currently at high-school senior classes programing is taught in C/C++ (in my country, Lithuania). This is mostly because graduation-exams are allowed to be taken with it (and programming olympiads, though now they allow py <https://olympiad.org.za/programming-olympiad/rules/>). And teachers are used to it and have dedicated textbooks.
But it is kind of clumsy for learning basics - py/js are much more popular and fun for that. Python mostly rocks for its syntax, and JS for its application in web-dev. Few personal initiatives are to moderninze the content. But most of them from C-syntax world -- Java/C#/JS, and few Py. *I think best would be to make a course/textbook with parallel code examples for JS/PY *(maybe some version with C/C++ for reference - for teachers to be easier to switch) Parallel JS-PY is also possible with some edu-environments: blockly/processing/reeborg *Maybe you know of any such courses -- for programming basics?* ps.: I tried to put up simple <http://codeintro.popo.lt/2015/10/14/pazintis-su-programavimu-1-veiksmai-ir-salygos/> example/article <http://codeintro.popo.lt/2015/10/14/pazintis-su-programavimu-1-veiksmai-ir-salygos/> how it could look like (in my native lang). -- Jurgis Pralgauskis tel: 8-616 77613; Don't worry, be happy and make things better ;) https://galvosukykla.wordpress.com/
