Deep dives
Inspiration for Building Rewind Programming Language
The creation of the Rewind programming language stemmed from the desire for the speaker's daughter to learn a language that her dad made. This motivation sparked the development of a text-based language that aimed to be an introductory programming language bridging the gap between drag-and-drop interfaces like Scratch and textual languages like Logo. The speaker envisioned a language that allowed for both text-based coding and animations, creating a unique learning experience for children.
