If the only evidence that you have is that it's "fun", then that is
enough right there! Logo is a fun programming language for
"youngsters of all ages" (I'm 40+). I think that something learned
while having fun learning it, stays with me longer. Furthermore,
I seem to learn it faster than if I'm having to "work" at learning
it. I'm speaking from a personal perspective because I'm studying
Logo at home, on my own, without the benefit of a teacher or
classroom (besides this list, and Brian Harvey's _Computer Science
Logo Style_ series of books.) Don't underestimate the importance
of having fun while learning something.
