I would love something like that for Lua. Am I wrong to think that these language simplifications turn thing harder? I would prefer to teach a real programming language, although introducing only a subset of features. For example, pretend we have only variables, strings, numbers, booleans, "ifs", "fors" and tables. I think that's enough to introduce someone to programming.
