   @amszmidt Does it return a value or not?

     @amszmidt hey man, I've been working in TI-99/4a LOGO for the past week. It matters!

     @nuxi @amszmidt There is nothing wrong with LOGO. Ever seen 3d NetLOGO? Now that is a cool lang!

     @nuxi @amszmidt

     If it's in Common Lisp, it can return a value, or return multiple values all at the same time, or even return no values.

     @ksaj @amszmidt Nope. Looks interesting though! I'm just playing around with this because in 40 years nobody has done much with it. I'm seeing why. Limited in some very frustrating ways. Still, there's a LISP in there, desperate to break free. I'm building a nice set of tools, at least. Got Map, Reduce, and Cartesian product working, among others. Still trying to find a project that's a good fit. Snake ran way too slow (MEMBER? is not primitive). Thinking about a dice or card game.

     @nuxi @amszmidt You can't really say nobody, when I just told you about a much newer one.

     NetLOGO 3D does an amazing job at showing flocking algorithms. So you don't have to download the 3d NetLOGO app, here is a web app running the 2D version. I bet you can't do that in your grandpa's LOGO. And you can do it in 3D with the app...

     Click SETUP and then GO.

     @ksaj @nuxi one of the coolest programs I’ve seen written in Logo was a CADR debugger like thing (it setuo a serial link, could dissect LispM words and other fun stuff) that Brian and Barry Silverman where working when System 99 for the #LispMachine hadn’t been yet restored. Lovely hackers too.

Most of the 3D alife (artificial life) models you've ever seen are coded this way.

     @amszmidt @ksaj @nuxi Brian also put Logo on a Canadian satellite that is now orbiting Earth.

     @larsbrinkhoff @amszmidt @nuxi I'm Canadian, and definitely think that is super cool. :ablobdj: We're always up to cool things. Watch out!
