I don't understand the appeal of learning programming without the beginning programmer being in charge of control flow.
Attaching scripts to things is useful for people with skills in using 3D tools, but now you have to introduce them to the concept of writing functions to be executed repeatedly in a loop without them being able to see the loop.
Student: How does it know to keep running my script?
Teacher: It runs every frame in a loop.
S: What's a loop?
T: teaches loops
S: Where's the loop that runs my script?
T: Deep inside the bowels of Blender.
S: Oh.
