@th Very nice! Sadly I never came across Logo in real life

At first glance, it seems a strangely domain-specific language to use to teach programming

And yet I can see that what it does at that level is far more interesting than arguably equally domain-specific languages like BASIC

(Any language whose standard beginner’s example is of the hello-world type is at least geared towards text processing, and on the first computers I used, all graphics were made out of text)

Side note: TIL that Logo is the same age as me (https://el.media.mit.edu/logo-foundation/index.html)
