I'm so so impressed by the work that went into the Pyret error messages. It's not just that the language is designed to prevent this common source of beginner programming errors, but it goes above and beyond to suggest a solution. (Ob2026Aside: and this predates LLM-land)

Doing an eleventh-hour pivot to DCIC for my 10-week course for nonmajors that starts tomorrow. Can't wait! (Among other things, I am *so so happy* that I will not be spending tomorrow bouncing between 30 students struggling to install VS Code, get python working, clone a repo in github classroom...)
