Well yeah ... but while you're contemplating the syntactic sugar of Scratch, consider Snap! which is a cleaner implementations. But if one has to implement turtle graphics -- similar to SVG -- anyway, then why not provide turtle graphics sooner rather than later during any development cycle resulting in providing scratch/Snap! as the final goal?
If you contact Brian Harvey as one of the developers of Snap! you might test his interest level and willingness to help you implement Snap! functionality in a tiddler.
