Hacker News discussion of BYTE's special Logo issue: <https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28603556>
>In my own life, I was fortunate to have stumbled upon Logo as my first computer programming language. The simplicity and elegance of Logo had a powerful effect on me at a very young age. It immediately turned me into a computer programmer for life!
I well remember the epiphany I felt while learning Logo in elementary school, at the moment I understood what recursion is.
While I have never worked as a professional software developer, computers have been a hobby all my life. I don't think the fact that the language I have mostly written code in in recent years is Emacs Lisp is unrelated to the above moment.
