I took [Pluto Desktop](https://discourse.julialang.org/t/ann-pluto-desktop-beta-release-native-windows-app/137981) for a short test drive yesterday and it was a very pleasant experience, much more what you are used to in installing and starting a typical Windows package. I may end up using that for introducing Julia to my grandchildren.
