LOGO can be hardcore. If you don't believe me check the Turtle Geometry book by Abelson (same Abelson that co-authored SICP). Not long ago I read Mindstorms (children, computer and powerful ideas) by Papert. Highly recommended read to anyone interested to know a bit more about LOGO, its creator and education.

Such a pity that today we don't see LOGO in elementary and high schools. I remember having used it quite a lot when I was a kid. The LOGO that I used at home was one that had a demo of a "dancing chair", you would see a chair appear and disappear in a rotating fashion around a circle, but I can't recall its name nor find it online when I searched for it.
