> You introduce them as it makes sense

So we agree that maybe dragging them right into the start by teaching assembly (because it's good at teaching those things) as the first time language isn't the best strategy?

At no point will I argue against learning it. Knowing how machines work is great, and I think going "down" the stack benefits a lot of developers ONCE they're developers and have an understanding that programming and computers are things they like and want to do.

But first you have to foster enthusiasm and nurture interest. You don't do that by declaring that you're going to teach your kids assembly... you do that by listening to your kids interests in the space and helping them achieve their goals.
