As a follow-up to my question regarding LiveCode in elementary schools, I'm wondering if there is  a need for research to compare programming/development environments for children.  So I paid an online visit to code.org.  I was happy to see LiveCode represented on http://code.org/learn (under Other Learning Options) among the many programming/coding environments.

After playing around with some of the other tools, it didn't take long to dawn on me that LiveCode is, at the very least, the best option for text manipulation.  I'm now wondering if age appropriateness is a factor, and if LiveCode has been formally compared with some of the other tools.  Any responses are, of course, are appreciated.

Thanks to Jacqueline, Cyril, David, and Peter for responding with the helpful information to my inquiry about LiveCode in elementary schools.
