What is really surprising to me is that Smalltalk was originally targeted as an educational language for children:

In this way, it was the older brother of Logo, but with a core object scaffold that was far more influential.

Logo predated Smalltalk, so Smalltalk is more like an evolution on the idea and a younger brother.

EDIT: Looked up the dates. Logo was made in 1967, Smalltalk started development in 1969.

I'd like to see LOGO but with support for 3-D, accelerated with CUDA
