I'm a beginner/intermediate programmer and i've recently been introduced to the turtle module as part of my curriculum in learning to be a programmer. I've been making some pretty cool stuff with it, but i was just wondering how far can i really go with using the turtle module? Is it something professional developers use to build apps/software for clients, or is it just a learning tool for new programmers to help facilitate their learning and understanding of GUI before moving on to the more powerful frameworks?

I’ve personally never heard of anyone using turtle in the professional world but I looked at turtle documentation and found this:

Turtle graphics is a popular way for introducing programming to kids. It was part of the original Logo programming language developed by Wally Feurzeig, Seymour Papert and Cynthia Solomon in 1967.

  • Turtle is fine for all ages just as much as Scratch is for all ages. This seems mostly from a historical time back when things were "for kids" and "for adults" in programming, which is a narrow perspective. I used Python turtle in an AI class in graduate school and Harvard CS50 uses Scratch (generally considered even more "kid-oriented" than Py turtle). It's generally true that serious production apps aren't using Turtle, though. – ggorlen Jul 04 '22 at 16:40
