Beginners struggle with basic procedural concepts such as variables, types, loops, and branches. They shouldn't have to also deal with classes, methods, and inheritance. Those should be introduced after the students have a very firm grasp on procedural programming.

@ThrowawayAccount3Million-My kids and their friends apparently didn't follow your advice and do quite well because of it. They are all into gaming mods in particular. They had to learn types, loops, branches or whatever and classes made things easier, not harder IMO.
