The site says last modified in 2008... Might want to add (2008) to the title.

It looks like a cool concept! It seems like a slightly more "code focused" Scratch.

Few Jeroo commands:

>hop(n): When n is an integer greater than 0, this moves the Jeroo n spaces forward.

>pick(): Picks a flower from the Jeroo's location.

>plant(): Plants a flower at the Jeroo's location.

>turn(): This can turn the Jeroo left or right.

>toss(): This makes the Jeroo toss a flower to the space in front of it, disabling a net.

Historical posts are always welcome on Hacker News. Snarky, dismissive comment are not. Please don't post any more of those.

Fine. But when I commented it was not clear that it was a historical post; and the value of the post - and intentions of the poster - are still not clear.
