Any software written for "academic" purposes.

Also computers. Developers' life would be much easier if they didn't exist.

But, it's not acedemic. I believe you are referring to something like Scratch...those applications hurt me. Even worse are the glorified puzzle games that use command such as "Left, Right, Forward". But, it's okay to say that they are programming games, because they "teach the core concepts of programming"

@SpencerBeige no, I mean any piece of code referenced on any scientific article... Scratch is not that bad.

+1 for computers.. 😉
