That's one of the reasons I'm still obsessed with xTalk languages, Instant gratification! Being able to see what your code is doing immediately after your done typing or changing a line is a powerful thing.

The reason Scratch (ugh!!) is and Logo (was) popular as a teaching tool is that they are both fun to use there is instant gratification of things moving and doing things.

I think that's an appropriate location, so far I've mostly only made changes to the LCC IDE. Thank you Klaus.
I think many in this community have a similar story. I'm even more of a dinosaur, I first started coding in Atari BASIC in the early 80s, lost interest for a while and then got hooked forever as a teen when I saw HyperCard/HyperTalk.
IMO that is the real power of xTalk languages. I've actually seen "pseudo code" written out that was already nearly functional xTalk or LCScript.
