Awesome, logo on the Apple II was my first introduction to programming. I hope she likes it too.

Logo! Are you going to open source the interpreter?

It's at github.com/adkennan/logo but is still very much a work in progress. My goal is to get it running nicely on a Raspberry Pi.

logo-a-go-go perhaps? I haven't spent much time thinking about a project name beyond "my logo interpreter that's on github"
Plus, just because it's written in Go I don't think an application should have extra "go's" in it's name!
That said, I agree that a simple and constrained environment can be great for learning and creativity. This is one of the reasons I'm currently writing a Logo interpreter reminiscent of ones I used as a kid in the 80's, using an Apple Logo II manual as a guide. Hopefully I can get my almost six year old daughter interested in playing with it!
