I think the issue is getting past the fear of even starting. To be fair, anyone even contemplating starting to learn how to program a computer may already be somewhat fearless (or foolish). A finished working stack, quickly and straightforwardly constructed with simple tools and one handler is what is required.. I wonder if easier and simpler tutorials would increase the retention rate of new people trying the language or programming for the first time.
There must be an "I can do this" at the end, or nobody will pursue it.
We must ignore the fact that the the newbie will very quickly come the the point where it takes a lot more of what the demo hinted at in order to advance to the point of even modest proficiency. How many threads have the theme "There is a learning curve, and you have to work at it..."
But that is not the goal of this effort. The goal is to get a lot of people to even try. Perhaps after the demo concludes, a dazzling stack of real power can be run.
Anyone remember what Rocky Rococo said about hanging around a drug store, giving away free high schools?
