C is similar to logo?? Wonder how you came to that conclusion. If anything, 
logo is similar to lisp, it uses recursion a lot. I think logo is a great 
way to start programming -- beginners can start writing code within 5 
minutes. But it gets very cumbersome after a while, so I do encourage 
people to move on to C after a couple of days, by which time they have 
already understood the concepts of looping and subroutines.
