I had a very visceral experience of Blub in my formative years. I don't recall how old I was, certainly under 11. I was explaining to my father the many things I could do in LOGO, and he asked about arrays. LOGO supports arrays, of course, but it was beyond anything I'd dealt with. I remember that feeling of entirely not understanding why you'd want to bother with arrays instead of just making more variables.
- centimeter 7y agoI had a similar experience also at age 11 - I was learning C++ to solve my math homework problems. I heard about Python, tried it out, and went on IRC to ask how I could write "goto" statements in Python. I couldn't believe it when people told me they weren't necessary, and linked "Go To Considered Harmful"!
- dllthomas 7y agoOh man, some of my LOGO programs had so many gotos.
