Bootstrap is working on a high school physics curriculum for ninth graders, which integrates functional programming as a fundamental component. They only have a landing page up at the moment [0], but I attended a very cool workshop they gave this summer. They’ve designed the programming language to avoid any “incidental complexity”—Physics teachers only have to teach the CS that’s absolutely necessary for the physics education goals they’re trying to achieve.
