@mrchrisadams@mastodon.social In 2018, #python was chosen "unofficially" to be taught to all pupils in France (at the Lycée level, for 16 to 18 years old). In 2020 it became official, and not only for mathematics. I guess we're reaping some rewards now !

@perrick@mamot.fr @schmidt_fu@mstdn.social @mrchrisadams@mastodon.social That’s awesome. It’s a great thought to teach all pupils relevant programming skills. Other countries in the EU should follow the example.

@mrchrisadams@mastodon.social The best part is that if you want to become to train as an engineer, you have to carry on learning more Python for two more years (in the "classe préparatoire" system). I'm so glad it replaced Fortran along the way...
