I don’t care about websites.

Agree, in spades.

Writing a program in C that finds a shortest path in a graph and dumps it to the terminal?

Disagree, although I am not immune.

Graphics. That, for me, is key. Drawing pretty pictures (procedural stuff, like Logo; fonts; and teenage me's particular crack, fractals) was where it was at.

Fuck C and everything it spawned. Give me a Pascal-family thing that doesn't have so much fucking syntactically significant punctuation marks FFS. WORDS, mthrfckr, words not code-breaking types of bloody parentheses.

a Visual Basic program that had no graphical user interface.

I approve of this sort of thing.

I hadn't seen this post of yours before. I like it. I like it a lot.

My $SPROG can't really read very well yet but she can open a saved program in Scratch and run it and show off the results, in SUGAR. I was so proud.
