I was introduced to Pascal’s Turtle Graphics back in the 90’s. I thought it was cool but never had a real use for it; x,y seemed easier for some reason. I started drawing SVG’s for a laser engraver and suddenly I wish other languages had them. I even started to write my own but I don’t know the math (even though I hear it’s relatively simple). I may get back to that but I figured out that simple scaling gets me there…

Modula-2, Ada and Oberon removed most of the BEGINs except the one between variable declaration and the start of the code.
But they kept the ENDs?

The BEGINs were replace by THEN (for IFs) and DO (for WHILEs and FORs). They still need something to denote the ENDs. Instead of saying "THEN BEGIN" or "DO BEGIN", you can drop the BEGIN and just assume it's there.
IF I had to BEGIN a comment, I would say that FOR a WHILE I thought it was the END.
