I want to thank everyone for sharing their stories of their first language. That's really what this is about, to make that first experience easier and with the arduino also make it fun. Once they are hooked, have them migrate to a real language.
I'm wondering if anyone has a feature from their first language that they really liked or disliked, or if there is something about my language that you would like added or changed. This will be a slow process and I probably won't be able to please many people, but I would like to hear any and all requests so I can keep them in the back of my mind.
A couple things I can probably add right off the bat is "Else If" and nested "Ifs"
I know that goto is considered evil, but it is so easy to implement. I changed it to "jump" to avoid the negative connotations. At first I had a jump absolute and relative, but that was confusing so I added :Label and now the only jump is a jump to label. That's a little more self-documenting.
Thanks,
Paul
