interested!

This is where the confusion lies: Google claims Oracle is copyrighting an interface to Harry Potter (as per your example) -- i.e., they are claiming copyright to any / all characters that are (1) a boy in his early teens (2) has magical powers (3) goes to wizard school.

Now, the question is, where do we draw the line: As per Oracle, there cannot be any other character that does what Harry Potter does.

Surprised that nobody mentioned Kotlin!

This has become a huge fad in countries like India of late (seen this first hand). Rather than aiding the learning experience, these are used by institutions to brand themselves as "smart schools" and in turn charge higher fees for providing so called "smart e-education".

Then there are xyz companies capitalizing on this by building custom tablets/ipads with their own educational content ripping off both schools and the parents by selling "premium" content that helps students have an "edge" among their peers.

But then, for most parents this is also a matter of pride - "my kids attend a smart school! What about your kids?" which is fueling this pathetic trend.

Almost all of my cousins are enrolled in these smart schools and they don't care much since they now have device to play games on in lieu of learning something meaningful.

I feel sad to see these in a country where there aren't proper schools in thousands of villages.

EDIT: fixed typos

This is such an interesting book! Thanks for sharing the link.

tui looks pretty interesting! Can you please add a README? I would love to go over the source code :)
