Here at U.C. Berkeley, we ask students to write (not from scratch, but still
they do a lot of the work) a Logo interpreter in Scheme in our *first
semester* programming course.  (It doesn't do catch/throw or turtle
graphics, but it's still pretty amazing.)

->Conceptually, these two have *very* much in common and are a better

->languages (visual and otherwise) will bear more resemblance to Lisp and LOGO
->than to any other existing computer language.

I agree entirely.
