Classroom Readiness Checklist

Claro v1.18.26 is suitable for beginner classroom-style testing of the stable console-language foundation. Advanced platform features should still be introduced carefully and only after the basics are comfortable.

Ready to test

• Beginner console programs
• Interactive examples
• Variables, math, choices, loops, lists, maps, functions
• Simple files and JSON
• Friendly check command
• Windows and Linux/macOS build paths
• Local project/package workflow basics
• Offline networking lessons with claro:// URLs

Use with caution

• Advanced scripts
• Large programs
• Graphics/game examples
• Remote networking examples
• Package registry or publishing workflows
• Concurrency examples beyond documented safe task patterns

Recommended testing session

1. Build Claro or use the included executable.
2. Run claro --version and confirm Claro v1.18.26.
3. Run claro test.
4. Run claro validate.
5. Run lessons/01_hello.claro.
6. Run lessons/02_ask_name.claro.
