@karinkl

Thanks for your talk at #rustweek on learning #rustlang as your first programming language.

You mentioned #hedy to help with basic programming concepts. I'm hoping @Felienne takes up the idea to help simplify learning the large #rustlang language.

Hedy.AI - mein lokaler KI-Meeting-Assistent

KI-gestützte Meeting-Assistenten wie der Zoom AI Companion sind aus der modernen Arbeitswelt nicht mehr wegzudenken. Sie transkribieren Gespräche in Echtzeit, fassen Inhalte zusammen oder übersetzen auf Knopfdruck. Doch für Multiplikator*innen im Bildungsbereich stellt sich oft die Frage: Wo werden

#corecursive has become one of my favorite podcasts. Interesting, thoughtful and a diverse range of topics connected to programming.

But this episode is really awesome: https://corecursive.com/hedy-with-felienne-hermans/
Want to look up Hedy now, and would love to see Felienne Hermans talk at a conference one day.

From Burnout to Breakthrough

Can you imagine risking your career to making coding easier to learn? Meet Felienne Hermans, a professor who did just that by stepping beyond academia to redefine coding education. Disillusioned by her research's limited impact, Felienne discovered a new calling in teaching coding to underserved students. Her journey led to the creation of Hedy, a programming language designed to dismantle language and learning barriers in coding. Confronting skepticism from her peers, Felienne's dedication to accessible coding challenged traditional academic priorities. Felienne's story is a powerful reminder of the impact one person can have by following their passion against the odds.

"Hedy is an open-source programming language designed to make programming easier for children."

FOSDEM 2026 - Hedy - Textual programming made easy!

Reposting since the Education track at #FOSDEM is today. If anyone wants to talk EdTech, message me! :)
I'm particularly interested in real life experiences with #Hedy and #Luanti in the classroom.

I just stumbled upon #Hedy, and the work of Felienne Hermans on teaching coding to 12 yr olds.

This interview has SO many gems of insight on teaching, and unpacking the baggage we bring to it

"a 12 year old that’s confused will tell you that they’re confused... It’s hurtful, but it is also very useful, because then it requires you to think again, okay, but then how do I explain it in a different way?"

Reading about the development of #Hedy an introductory programming language:

"It’s really weird if your husband sends you unsolicited pull requests." 🤣

There was a time when I wrote Scala function names in Telugu, because it allowed full Unicode support.

Felienne Hermans, a professor from Netherlands implemented a subset of #Python in various natural languages for teaching programming to 12 year-old children. It's called Hedy.

I think it's a great step in the direction of decolonializing computer programming.

Does computer programming have colonial values baked in? It's not something we give much though to. 🤔
