I suggest reading the article before making a comment.<p>Jimmy Wales tweeted, "This is super cool!" about a girl presenting her Raspberry Pi story, "I started to learn Python...".
For the commenter's applauding Jimmy Wales' new language skills, he's referring to the story of Amy Mather and her adventures with python and the Raspberry Pi. Linked video: <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a35XINnYFtA" rel="nofollow">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a35XINnYFtA</a>
I don't share his enthusiasm about this. Doesn't everyone interested in computers/computing start programming things that are actually useful at roughly that age?<p>Also, is an early start a guarantee that someone will choose a career in computing?
Jimmy Wales is a role model, you must have modesty and defined objectives to build that humongous platform and refuse to monetize, his quotations of "The Fountainhead" made me read it, awesome, the man really is a Howard Roark.
