Elica Logo

Logo has long been a favorite for teaching kids something about programming. Today the best Logo environment is Elica Logo . Not only is it a fully featured Logo including 3D and sound perfect for inspiring kids to play with it. In addition it is has been extended to allow Object Oriented programming. This has been done without changing the syntax of Logo. An excellent article on the language features of Elica Logo is Programming As Poetry

Simple Programming Languages

I am very interested in programming languages that have simple syntax rules. Partly this is bacause I am interested in how to teach programming to kids, and also as I believe that these languages are elegant. Languages that fit this category are Forth, Lisp, Logo & Smalltalk.
