A comment on Show HN: New visual language for teaching kids to code. Parent comment
- How does the computer understand that it needs to add
- How can the computer go from these 3 lines of text to "sure, let's add"
- Why does text even mean anything to the computer
- For that matter, sure it can add, but HOW? It's not like it has a pencil and paper.
Because indeed the infrastructure between these 3 lines of text and the addition is not trivial. These are legitimate questions.
