    This is pretty funny but I think that what is actually going on here is that this person is learning, as in has seen a bunch of examples and it's starting to write the first few lines, I think this could happen with any language.

    That said it's nice to see that programming is no longer a distant and niche thing, it's now more accessible to everyone than ever.

    To be fair, depending on keyboard layout curly braces might not be printed on the keyboard keys, for example my macbook pro with SV layout gives no indication where they might be (and what key combination is needed)
