A programming language by educators, for educators. Discord: https://t.co/p9GYmeIyMy

I haven't tried it yet, but super excited that B. András Nagy has created a @PyretLang track on Exercism: https://t.co/79x80yDPul
exercism.org
Get fluent in Pyret by solving 52 exercises. And then level up with mentoring from our world-class team.

Unapologetically boosting this because it's a nice story about a kid who fell in love with computing through @PyretLang (which runs fine on 6yo computers) and now runs his own education program. Go Isaac!

Paper by @RVieyraAEF and @ColleenMegowan in @TptJournal about integrated computational modeling with @PyretLang - and I got to write part of it! Thanks for the support and encouragement! #modphys #iteachphysics

This year, give your students an hour of DATA! In this self-guided @Desmos activity, they’ll explore data viz, introductory programming using @PyretLang, and the application of #DataScience to solve real problems. https://t.co/Xs6BPEDYUU

In @PyretLang we've long thought about what a #lang-like thing would be in our world. We aren't ready for (nor think we need) full #lang. The #lang-inspired Grace dialects have been a promising approach (@jameskjx). In general, there are two kinds of issues. ↵

In @PyretLang we decided to get rid of the indirection entirely! @tenellous implemented our beautiful errors, which many users love. Every term is colored (eagerly or lazily). Hovering causes the highlights in text, error code excerpt, and editor to all blink in unison. ↵

@famontesi @ShriramKMurthi @JeffGraham15 @KathiFisler @PyretLang Power of Ph.D. (Photoshop Design), I summon you! Is this what you meant? 🤪 @famontesi @ShriramKMurthi?

@pamelafox @joepolitz Here's your example (L). And when I run it (R), @PyretLang gets annoyed at me saying that I'm confusing it. Make up your mind, Shriram! Which one do you want? ↵

@pamelafox @joepolitz @PyretLang For this reason, Pyret has three notions of equality. A bit of overkill for regular programming, maybe, but absolutely essential to the pedagogy I use for introducing state 2/3 of the way through the semester. ↵ https://t.co/KfvJLm3Cbt

Newly released on https://t.co/xBJrznjZ8K this past week: Additions to the image library, testing syntax, and module system, many issues fixed, and basic screenreader support at the REPL! https://t.co/PoB3CikWdL

Over the past 2 years, we've rewritten our curriculum into a new format we call "Remix". Now, along with WeScheme, you can teach Bootstrap:Algebra in @PyretLang, which is a lot more like other C-style languages and is used in our Data Science course! https://t.co/d6yBaGpW2A

Omg. We are having a blast! SO COOL!! Watch the rocket and the graph it creates! #NMSInation #pyretlang @NMSI @PyretLang @MMadrigalGMS

@Bootstrapworld I said she could serve as a TA so long as she refreshed her knowledge thoroughly. She sat through the Bootstrap workshop in Providence and re-did all the material as a participant, then spent July learning to translate from @racketlang to @PyretLang. »

As I finish up my 2.5 weeks at ASU with the Computational Modeling Physics workshop, I needed digest everything I’ve learned (it’s a lot). Chemistry is my first love but I guess physics is cool too! Thanks @AMTAteachers, @AAPTHQ and @Bootstrapworld #modphys #pyret

Some interesting Pyret implementations for a function that finds the area of a ring. This is their first time using a design recipe. What would you ask these kids next & what would you have them compare?

How can we be sure students are working on the right *problem* before they start writing their *program*? A new tool by Jack Wrenn, Examplar (for @PyretLang), is designed for this problem, using our tests-as-classifiers view. A brief video explains it. https://t.co/mJjqiIT61Y
