Logo is an educational programming language, designed in 1967 by Wally Feurzeig, Seymour Papert, and Cynthia Solomon. The name was coined by Feurzeig while he was at Bolt, Beranek and Newman, and derives from the Greek logos, meaning 'word' or 'thought'.
Logos are Dead
A logo isn’t a strategy. We see many brands obsessing over a symbol while ignoring how they actually talk, feel, or connect. A logo is just the “period” at the end of the sentence. The real work is the sentence itself: your voice, your values, and the experience. Logos are
The Brainmade Mark
When you see this logo on any artwork, whether painting, poetry, or prose, you know that it was made by a human just like you.

Seymour Papert
Seymour Aubrey Papert was a South African-born American mathematician, computer scientist, and educator, who spent most of his career teaching and researching at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He was one of the pioneers of artificial intelligence, and of the constructionist movement in education. He was co-inventor, with Wally Feurzeig and Cynthia Solomon, of the Logo programming language.
J Notation as a Tool of Thought
Kenneth Iverson’s 1964 language, APL, won him the Turing Award. His award lecture, Notation as a Tool of Thought, argued that better notations would lead people to deeper insights about mathematics. He provided a number of examples ranging across linear algebra, arithmetic, probability, and logic. Unfortunately, most of the mathematics he covers isn’t relevant to programming. However, his core idea still applies, and changing how we describe programs changes how we think about them.

The Next 7000 Programming Languages
Landin’s seminal paper “The next 700 programming languages” considered programming languages prior to 1966 and speculated on the next 700. Half-a-century on, we cast programming languages in a Darwinian ‘tree of life’ and explore languages, their features (genes) and language evolution from the viewpoint of ‘survival of the fittest’.
The APL Programming Language Source Code
Thousands of programming languages were invented in the first 50 years of the age of computing. Many of them were similar, and many followed a traditional, evolutionary path from their predecessors. What eventually became APL was first a mathematical notation, not as a computer programming language.

Notation as a Tool of Thought
Notation is not a way of writing thoughts down — it is a technology that determines which thoughts are available to be had. Starting from Iverson's 1979 Turing Award lecture, this collection gathers the argument's ancestors, elaborations, and its opponents: Nielsen and Matuschak on media as cognitive infrastructure, Bret Victor's case against symbol manipulation, and empirical work on representation as a cognitive tool. Open to contributions.
