I have very fond memories of turtle graphics.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turtle_graphics
I've recently been hoping to pick up one of the newer elegant languages, with Julia being high up in the list to consider (Scala in 2nd place). However, one the biggest shortcoming in this seeming like a good fit for me might be what seems to be a lack of graphics and simple IO + UI.
Simple graphics and non-text based UI should come standard in an ideal language in my opinion. It's very important. Ideally one should be able to write a simple demo like Pong in under an hour.
Well, I am excited to have made this find for Julia:
