I just learned that Python includes Logo in the default installation and now I'm reliving my turtle graphics childhood. https://docs.python.org/3/library/turtle.html
@th always use Logo for your entire tech stack, as it's turtles all the way down!
@th recursion!
@th yes! And it’s a pretty good implementation :)
If you’re a Logo fan and haven’t already seen this, you might enjoy it: https://cmagazine.com/articles/joyful-poetic-microworlds
(And if you did see it, apologies for over sharing 😊)
@th Very nice! 😊 Sadly I never came across Logo in real life
At first glance, it seems a strangely domain-specific language to use to teach programming
And yet I can see that what it does at that level is far more interesting than arguably equally domain-specific languages like BASIC
(Any language whose standard beginner’s example is of the hello-world type is at least geared towards text processing, and on the first computers I used, all graphics were made out of text)
Side note: TIL that Logo is the same age as me (https://el.media.mit.edu/logo-foundation/index.html)
@th My son loves this browser-based logo interpreter: https://calormen.com/jslogo/
