BBC Micro Bit

[John]

BBC Micro Bit rollout starts after six month delay - can it repeat the success of the BBC Micro in the 1980s?

Is or will there be a BASIC available for it I wonder?

[John]

I hear Microsoft donated a graphical language to the project and Python was mentioned. I tweeted one of the project directors about Script BASIC and the BBC graphics extension module I did for it in SDL. The seed is planted. Who knows what might come of it.

But is Mr BBC BASIC prepared to donate?

Maybe Richard will rejoin the All BASIC forum and let us know his thoughts on the matter.
