Would yu use
that for teaching programming to first-time beginners?
Neil Lincoln once told me that he thought that APL was the perfect
language to introduce one to programming. He said his kids took to
it like ducks to water.
One can readily see the popularity of this idea by the vast amount of
APL code to be seen on the Web...
The same thing could be said about LOGO. However, I got a lot more code
done in C64 BASIC than I ever did in C64 LOGO, and I don't think the
interpreter overhead was the only reason.
