Launched in 2017, Grasshopper is a Google platform that aims to teach programming. The application's success is proven by the number of users who have already used its services, which exceeds one million. So it came as a surprise to many when Google sent an email announcing the possibility of the feature ending.

Creator of ChatGPT puts an end to the tool for detecting texts made…
Although the tool is used by many people who want to learn programming language, recently a notification was sent by Google. The news couldn't be sadder: on June 15, 2023, the platform will come to an end. Wassup did you feel the impact? Calm down, because it might not be like that.
Apparently, the notification was sent by mistake. Unfortunately, now nobody knows for sure if the app will in fact stop working on June 15, 2023, or if the message was just an error.
Grasshopper is a project by an exclusive team at Google that develops creations parallel to the work carried out by the technology giant. With it, users can use gamification and software architecture to learn programming language and other initial concepts on the subject.
“Initially available only in English, the application gained a version adapted to Brazilian Portuguese in June 2021, allowing people who do not understand English to have access to the knowledge offered by the app.
Sent to users, the announcement of the alleged closure of the platform may seem confusing.
After informing that it will stop working on June 15th, the “Read more” option takes the reader to a post on Grasshopper entitled “Quick test. Please ignore”. To make the user even more confused, the text goes on to say: “This post is a test and should be deleted soon”.
Today, anyone who wants to learn programming language with Grasshopper can download the application from the Google Play Store. For iOS devices, it remains unavailable, but only because it was removed from the Apple Store in 2022.
