As a self-taught programmer from Estonia, I would have loved having programming as a subject in the basic school.

Anyhow, the program will not be quite as successful if skilled programmers with long experience weren't included, or children will not be seeing the full scale of possibilites programming the computer could give to them. That, however, will be a tough task since there's a great shortage of developers on the market, and not all of them would fit neatly into the teaching role.
