When I was first learning programming, that kind of programming was such wizard-level stuff that even professionals didn't entirely have a handle on it, and languages usually didn't have support for it built in. Now it can be part of an educational kid's language.

My least favorite thing about it *was* that when I was first playing with it, when my daughter was a little kid, you couldn't define your own functions (there were forks of it that added that). But now you can.
