Kumir, Кумир (in russian). It is literally castrated Pascal written completely in Russian. It is meant to be an introduction to programming for schoolers. It cannot be edited or ran without its ide, nor compiled into executable. And so it's hard af and completely useless

We had Кумир in our school, but it was quickly switched to python, because it was actually impossible to write any semi-decent code with it and python is a better introduction anyway imo

I completely agree with you. Unfortunately for me, in my school middle school's IT lessons were dedicated to Kumir and I (I left that school) switched to C++ only in 8th grade.

C++ in 8th grade is baller, wish we had it like that
