As I said to a friend, this does seem rather savant-ish.

I also hope his parents aren't pushing him to do this once they realised he had this talent. Being burnt out by 13 does not sound good.

Doodle this! topic

I just read about this kid in Saturday's paper. His father does the same sort of work, and somehow it brings them together sans" family dinners."

I hope they eat now and then. :roll:

i hope the kid doesn't get pushed into hating it, a lot of proffesionals get into something at an early age and love it then grow to detest it because what they enjoy becomes work.

then again i do hope he's pushed to the right degree, being that talented at such an early age show great potential, given the right support he could become one of the best.

So what? My brother wrote loads of programs at that age and I'm sure lots of other children can too.
