    I had programming (Pascal) in school in a random-ass country in Europe 20 years ago (I was like 14).

    This has been widespread all over the world for a long time.

      At 14 I could barely get a for loop and if statement working properly. Pascal then VB for me, once a week for 2 years. Only really started programming in uni. Some Asian countries start in primary school at as early as 3 years old. It’s as important as languages to them. By 14 they’re already doing robotics and writing social media clones.

      We are quite far behind in the west.
