    So what do you think surrealism is?

    Just seeing the rules in the sidebar and the first one says "use common sense when deciding what is considered surrealism".

    Thing is this kind of intuition might not that "common". It is mentioned that the "individuals's interpretation" comes into play, but that sounds completely vague.

    So why not offer a few ideas of what you think qualifies a piece of content as part of the surrealist movement? It might be helpful to think beyond just "weirdness".

    Just something to get this little tribe going!

    What language is best for absolute code virgins to begin with?

    I hear popular choices like Python and Ruby, because both are friendlier in terms of syntax. I also hear some who say to just start from the "fundamental" C and work up to higher-level languages.

    Or should beginners even start with a language at all? There are games where players still learn concepts like recursion and loops without having to type code.
