How do they square that with the presence of parentheses and the use of a syntactically significant period?
It seems strange they didn’t start with something that looked more like Logo before concluding the text was inherently off-putting.
I’m not sure their conclusion was wrong — but I’m confused about the point where they gave up with text.
Also - the final syntax at the end is ugly as hell. Is that the best they can do?
Finally - not even a hat-tip to Scratch/Blockly? If they aren't aware of it then it's very odd. If they are and decided not to mention it - I find that equally odd.
