One thing that was new was Alan Kay, representing Seymour Papert's views to the best of his ability, suggested that Seymour no longer regards "suppressing the receiver" as an important feature, meaning he's paving the way for explicity mention of the turtle as a message receiver, e.g. via Python notation: So this isn't Logo, but it's probably where we're headed with the turtle stuff: t1 = Turtle() t1.forward(10) I can imagine a big commercial company contributing a colorful professional grade edition to the education community, via GNU or whatever. Making the syntax consistently Pythonic would be an attractive feature (implement bindings for both Python *and* traditional Logo why not?).
