note also that you need to imprint real early on a small taste
of OOP.

Understanding a bit about objects is necessary if you want
something like Hello World.

Early on it is good if the student can try ideas (even stupid ones) and
get immediate results ie like a language like ML or LISP.

The student shouldn't need to handle such technicalities like files
or units and so on.
