Pascal is a fine language to learn a more traditional approach after working with Logo. Another good step would be to segue into Pascal with Karel. Lisp is a fine language to extend the lessons learned with Logo. Lisp and Logo are quite similar (the main difference being the more regular syntax in lisp, and the lack of back-pointers in lists). C is a lousy language to hit a kid with. It's great for writing moderately large programs you want to be portable and efficient, but it's got too much noise in the definition. Forth is a good language for an older student, who has some familiarity with the hardware. Again, I wouldn't hit a kid with it... diagnosing syntax errors by crashing the compiler is a bit much. Smalltalk and Prolog are good choices to broaden the mind. -- Peter da Silva `-_-' $ EDIT/TECO LOVE 'U` %TECO-W-OLDJOKE Not war? Have you hugged your wolf today? Ferranti Intl. Ctls. Corp.
