Definitely, and Brian Harvey's books go a long way to showing just that: Logo is a full fledged language with wonderful pedagogical value, as well as a neat tool for easy exploratory programming, possibly better than more modern options like Python that suck all the air out of the room right now.
- buescher 5y agoI've always thought Logo syntax was not just easy but outright elegant. There could be a parallel universe where it continued to evolve into the de-facto-standard-scripting-language role Python has now.
- RodgerTheGreat 5y agoREBOL's syntax is in some ways very similar to Logo; perhaps we may yet see successful descendants in our own universe.
- leke 5y agoREBOL was one of the first languages I learned. Some parts were super powerful and easy, but I remember struggling with some parts of the language. I can't remember what those parts were now. Of all these compile to JS languages we see currently, it's a shame REBOL is not one of them. I might be tempted to pick it up again.
- bmitc 5y agoMaybe I should give Logo a try then when the book arrives.
