summary

Claim: Clojure is a great first language because a Logo-style turtle teaches functions, repetition and higher-order ideas without tool setup. Built a browser-only environment combining clojure-turtle and Power Turtle on self-hosted ClojureScript plus replumb; it runs lessons, multiple canvases (vector, raster, HTML), charts, Conway’s Game of Life and tiles the plane. Supports translated keyword sets via c-band (Tamil, Korean, French, German, Chinese). It works: no JVM install, immediate REPL and editable lessons.
