At 14 I could barely get a for loop and if statement working properly. Pascal then VB for me, once a week for 2 years. Only really started programming in uni. Some Asian countries start in primary school at as early as 3 years old. It’s as important as languages to them. By 14 they’re already doing robotics and writing social media clones.
Kids in Asia are way ahead of that. Some countries have had programming on their curriculum for more than a decade
I had programming (Pascal) in school in a random-ass country in Europe 20 years ago (I was like 14).
This has been widespread all over the world for a long time.
