Michal Wallace on Narrative Programming

Michal Wallace (tangentstorm) loves pedagogy, producing many instructional videos, mostly for J and recently for Decker. For his dream programming course, he made a Forth-ish VM b4 and a REBOL-array-style implish. To assist with courses, he’s made tanco courseware around test-driven development and minavo, an “audio-video outliner” (a modern jprez.) Among many other things, he ran a webhost and worked as a professional K programmer, interviewed on the ArrayCast. Pedagogy What inspired your programming pedagogy (on youtube etc.?) Though a K programmer, on a previous interview you said you’re not only focused on them. This is quite unique as exotic language enthusiasts tend to evangelize their particular paradigm. I have a long-term vision of making a programming course where I start with b4 (my forth-like VM) (or even more conceptual things like what a bit is and how to think about them)… Then building up from b4 assembly to a little Lisp and/or forth, a Pascal-like language, and then…
