Cool stuff. You'll note he recommends Ruby and so do other commenters. They also recommend Smalltalk (I.e. Squeak). Plus Logo, Toontalk, etc. Fun stuff. I'd like to experiment w/a Ruby Logo graphic language. Did you know that Ruby was originally called matzlisp (Matz is the nick of ruby's author.) It was designed to be a more modern syntax for a lisp-like language. Since Logo is derived from Lisp, adding the graphic primatives to Ruby would be fun.
