PILOT was Re: OT: Language for the ages

    Actually, Logo is far more capable than Pilot.  Pilot
is just
 plain retarded. 
 Let's be fair. PILOT was never intended as a general purpose language. It
 was intended from the get-go purely for CAI. Things were drafted on later as
 people saw the need.  
 Eh.  Where was PILOT actually used?  It just seems so damn icky to me. 
Actually, I was only half-joking. There are some properties of PILOT that
make it useful for task wizards and the like, with suitable extensions. It's
a strange language, but I've never found it ill-conceived, per se.
