More from the pencil code author:

.. about the effectiveness of Blockly .. like StarLogo TNG.
So here's the question: if I learn in blockly-style programming, will it
impede the jump to text based programming?
Steve tells me that the super computer challenge uses TNG for the younger
students, and text based NetLogo for older students. Does anyone have an
opinion or experience, especially on whether block programming is useful at
all and if it is, is the transition difficult?
