Comment Re:LOGO? (Score 1) 744

I think LOGO is a close enough relative of LISP that it doesn't need a separate entry. My first programming was LOGO on the CollecoVision. And I'm talking without Adam, just plain game console with a LOGO "game" cartridge. Then whent on to BASIC on Vic20... until I found out that multiplying two positive numbers could give me a negative number (integer overflow). At that point I was very disapointed that computers could not even do simple arithmetic when the numbers got large and were not even good enough to give me an error instead of the wrong answer. Seing computers could not be trusted at all I decided to study math instead... until I got to college where I finally welcomed our computer overlords.
