I made a new programming language for kids — real code, real fun!

I recently finished building Fox, a brand-new programming language designed specifically for children who want to learn coding creatively — not just by dragging blocks, but by writing actual code.

Unlike tools like Scratch, Fox uses a simplified, visual-first coding language that lets kids create amazing drawings and animations using real code, in a fun and beginner-friendly way.

Why I built this:
Because I wanted to bridge the gap between visual learning and real programming logic — in a way that sparks curiosity and joy.

We also made some creative coding demos on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@thefoxproject11

I’d love your feedback — whether you’re a developer, parent, educator, or curious learner. Let me know what you think!
