SNOBOL evolved into ICON, which forked into Unicon. ICON used to be rather well known back in the day for its SNOBOL inherited pattern matching, goal-directed expression evaluation, generators, co-expressions, first-class functions and a very very fast byte-code interpreter. All before Windows was born:) It has an elegant and effective binding to X11 which works to this day, even under Mac OS X. It is my go-to language for personal projects.
ICON is feature-frozen, but still maintained, and it is all in the public domain. It has a loyal following: http://www.cs.arizona.edu/icon
Unicon is under active development, and introduces lots of new shiny kitchen sinks like objects and unicode. I don't use it....
First off, pencil and paper. Teach them how to make and play wirh Turing machines and finite state automata. Enjoy the awe when you tell them about the Universal Turing Machine.

All I've heard are vague notions of "strong government", but when I ask what that actually means, and why it would be a good thing, I haven't heard an answer at all.
Perhaps you should cast your net wider: there are at least 6,827,938 of us who would agree with you.
However, it's the Labour Party with one of our quaint u-s. (I guess the Labour Party used to be Non-U http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-U... until it became `New' under Blair.)
Be sure to try the echo in the Reading Room of the British Library, and for out of hours relaxation, you can spot a brothel by the blue light above the entrance.

Alumnae, feminine plural, nominative. All the shooters who were graduates were female?
They word you are looking for is "Alumni".
Latin, motherfuckers. Do you speak it?

In the Free West, we don't need no stinking government and laws to mandate telemetry.

Who the hell calls 'go' 'weiqi' ?
The Chinese do. They invented the game.
It's an offence, with a `c'.

Julian, is that you ?!??
You can get Pixie Scheme from the App Store. Sure it's sandboxed, but for playing with LISP logic, it's right there on your iPad.
I guess that makes it a USB pongle ?!
