Seymour Papert, Creator of the Logo Language, Dies At 88 (mit.edu)

New submitter gwolf writes: The great educator, creator of the Logo programming language, and the enabler for computer education in the 1980s has passed away. Listing his contributions is impossible in an article summary, but the ACM has published a short in-memoriam note for him. Papert is, without exaggeration, one of the people I owe my career and life choices to.

The real sad part is there are no comments here, but theodps rants against computer education for children gets published regularly here and commented on. How pathetic Slashdot has become. It is now just a bunch of xenophobes and Trump supporters and Windows 10 users.
