It looks like we have a true believer here... My memory of the old
(before 1990 or so) Logo literature was that it worked fabulously well
for some kids and when taught by some people who knew what they were
doing, but that it was no panacea. But that seems to me to be
basically a valid summary of almost _any_ educational project hatched
within the last 20 years, which I guess is why I'm not an Ed School
kind of person. :-)
I don't know if I'd say that the Logo language was that good but it was
a good idea to make it so easy to get visual feedback and have graphic
primitives to work with. HTML is of similar ease for marking up text in
fun and useful ways which is a large part of why it's been so popular. I
think the Logo concept could be improved by building it into a nicer
language but still keeping it easy to use.
Multiple turtles and movement in 3D space is sort of fun variants
sometimes found in Logo.
