I think FUZE is closer to a fantasy console (eg- PICO-8) than it is to a 'coding for kids' thing (eg- Scratch or Alice), since you have to actually type in code and that code is text. There's nothing wrong with 'coding for kids' things either IMHO; I find the design of them quite interesting actually (from both a language design and a UI perspective).

What do you define as 'real coding'? What kinds of things are you thinking of as 'coding for kids'?

The point of coding apps isn’t to get kids proficient at coding.

“Does not work”- for what criteria of work? Because as a means to get kids exposed to ideas in programming and/or get familiar with how code looks and not be apprehensive of it, theyre great starters for many.

I think Scratch is pretty darn good.
