  I recently picked up 'Turtle Geometry' from Abelson and diSessa. And it was a mind blowing experience. Really makes you think what kind of fun programming was about back then and its potential. Frankly speaking you begin to feel programming has kind of lost its way.

      Berkeley Logo (brand new in version 6.1). I have compiled two versions, with and without wx. The file with the procedures is on github: https://github.com/pgtan/puzzles/blob/master/baum1.lg https://github.com/pgtan/puzzles/blob/master/baum1.lg https://github.com/jrincayc/ucblogo-code https://github.com/jrincayc/ucblogo-code

    It's a bit silly to hide the work in a method call and call it a "one-liner".
