Programming in “Thonny”

We live in an age of abundance, in many respects.

There are more ways to learn things than ever before.

In my case, I was looking through options for my daughter to play around with.

We previously tried Swift Playgrounds, which I thought was fun.

Having previously used both Repl.It and Glitch myself, I was comparing them.

That’s when I stumbled across this Reddit thread … and learned about Thonny.


The user interface is has that “early 00s Linux” feel to it, but otherwise it feels nice, as a sandbox for someone new to programming.


P.S. Yes, I do wish it had a better name
