Also shout out to all shell programmers and turtle graphicians and turtle roboticians! Turtles are really awesome, they have shell access! And won’t be rushing to push anything on production too fast either.

    If you like turtles and programming, you might enjoy hearing about LOGO.
    Back in the day, that was the first programming language I was taught. Years and years before I’d learn C or ASM.
    You’d give instructions to a “turtle”, moving it about the screen, drawing as it did so. It was a magical experience for 9yo me.

      Thank you! I had been picking my memory for this for so long. We too were taught LOGO in school in the early 2000s. I had forgotten the name, I found kturtle after searching about but couldn’t recall what the original program was called.

        I was taught it around 1988, most likely on a Thomson MO5 ? Or maybe it was a TO9. It was a while ago :,) I just remember the fascination watching the little pixels color themselves and experimenting with the instructions to see what we could come up with.

      Well aren’t the requests to backend by definition slow? Actually TCP protocol is pretty much turtle as opposed to UDP’s hare: slow, but it gets you there.

      Edut: was drunk here, was very spitballin’ too

    Turtle day? Then give praise to Tortoise SVN!

    Thank you for your service in keeping my early programming safe on someone else’s computer!
