I agree.  While I don't exactly have a graphics library in my version of
xlisp, if I did I imagine writing a LOGO interpreter in Lisp would be
easier than in any other language.  Conceptually, these two have *very*
much in common and are a better foundation for programming expertise than
anything else out there.  Future languages (visual and otherwise) will bear
more resemblance to Lisp and LOGO than to any other existing computer
language.
