FUZE BASIC on micro:bit
Posted on 09 February, 2017
I'd missed this, but turns out that in addition to Javascript (using Code Kingdoms), Microsoft's Blocks Editor/Touch Develop and MicroPython, it's now possible to write BASIC code for the micro:bit courtesy of FUZE — who also sell a coding/electronics pack for the Raspberry Pi.
Personally I'm not a huge fan of BASIC language(s) — I sometimes use Visual Basic for scripting at work and don't enjoy it! — and I think it'll struggle against the Code Kingdoms visual editor (which can lead into Javascript) or 'proper' coding in MicroPython (which surely is a much more relevant language than BASIC nowadays?!) but I'm in favour of anything which helps get people interested in coding, so kudos.
