Reconsider the position of 7.1 Scripts

[mitsuoxv]

I cried no way, when I read the first sentence "So far, you have used the console to run code" in 7.1 Scripts. It does not make sense that this comes after 5 Workflow: code style, and code before this should not exceed around 5 lines. I would like to suggest that 7.1 Scripts shall move into 3 Workflow: basics or 5 Workflow: code style.

I believe it's too late for us to consider this change for 2e but something we might consider for a subsequent edition, thank you!

While my reaction was more muted, I agree with Mitsuoxv. When I read that sentence my reaction was, simply: "no, I have been using scripts to run code".

Section 5.5 (Sectioning comments) mentions scripts which are only to be introduced in Section 7. Perhaps 5.5 could find a place between 7.1.1 and 7.1.2?

In an ideal world, 7.1 would come after 3.4 or before 5.1 (and the chapter would be called "basics and scripts" or "scripts and code style"), and chapter 7 would be called "Projects".
