This one _ought to be_ in the FAQ. Is anyone maintaining it?

This is what it says:

   Why program in a dialect of LISP?

   It's interactive and interpreted. Both interactive command lines and
   user-written functions use a single notation that supplies immediate
   results. There is no edit-compile-link-run cycle with its inherent
   delay in providing results. Logo performs housekeeping operations
   such as memory management transparently. The flip side for interpreters
   is that they run slower than compiled native code, _BUT LOGO COMPILER
   SYSTEMS HAVE BEGUN TO APPEAR_, and machines are always becoming faster.
