This appears to be focused almost entirely on Javascript outside of the html/css/databases portion.
Curious if there are plans to expand it into python or other languages.

We want our students to understand technology at a conceptual level first, end to end:
1. Client side - Mobile, web, terminal 2. Server side - Database interactions, system design and optimization 3. Batch - ML models and scripting
AFAIK, JavaScript is the only language that is able to cover everything end to end (front end to backend to scripting to even ML) so I'm able to come up with appropriate exercises for each of the moving parts.
Afterwards, they should pickup domain specific language that optimizes for each task.
I think it may be too overwhelming for students to learn different languages and learn the high level concepts at the same time.
That would take literally years.
I explain things and help him write better code when he sends me stuff he's written but it's difficult to best explain that I've spent years getting to the point where I can write good, efficient, code - let alone starting almost genuinely from scratch ("What's a terminal"), and with an all too common disease that I'm going to call "Let you google that for me"
There's probably a joke in that he goes to Harvard and I go to a university you've probably never heard of but hey ho
"You can always tell a Harvard man, but you can't tell him much."
