I agree with the conclusion that AI dungeon might be the first glimpse of new kind of roleplaying game. One tiny point i miss in the article is a reference to Dwarf Fortress, probably the most advanced fantasy world simulation.

The point of Logo is not to teach programming but to teach geometry. At least that is what I took from the Paperts Mindstorms book. I never had Logo in school myself.

While the opinion-pendulum is currently on the contra-GC side, I still believe GC is the correct default. Mostly because GC is easier than manual memory management. If you have real-time needs, then GC is probably out. That includes handlin
