Logo Programming!
 Q: What did kids do back in the olden days, before smoking crack and sniffin glue was the regular hobby it is for today's youngsters? A: Why, they programmed in Logo, silly! What a christmas treat! I just saw this heading, Logo Rediscovered on programming.reddit.com -- and immediately had to take their challenge: Can you figure out how to draw a tree?
 Spoiler alert:Here's my code for implementing a tree...
Love that recursion!

I moved on to Apple Basic before long, and never knew that Logo even supported procedure/function arguments, let alone recursion! If I'd known it was so sophisticated I wouldn't have been in such a hurry to learn a "real" programming language like BASIC. =D
