Where small children will run into problems is anything involving abstract reasoning, since those faculties don’t develop until around age 12. So while kids could easily handle something like (+ 1 2), they would struggle with:
(define (add x y)
(+ x y))
So just be sure to keep that in mind while showing them stuff and it should go fine.
Ah good, this was one of the few GTK apps that I couldn’t get rid of.
