Speed and lightness.
aUCBLogo seems to me quite speed but it becomes heavy.
And what about the possibility of making standalone executables, for
instance ?
Some implementations of interpreted BASIC are often light and
sometimes as speed as C (and allow the creation of light standalone
exe). They miss only 'list processing' and 'turtle graphics' to
compete with Logo, though it's not so difficult to implement 'turtle
graphics' in Basic.
I think Logo could be the future of Lisp ;) ... if ... (lots of thing)?
