Neo-retro computing

Today I just wanted to share with you a very cool programming environment I recently discovered: the Mini Micro.

What is the Mini Micro?

From its wiki:

Mini Micro is a desktop application for Windows, macOS, and Linux.

It simulates a retro-style home computer, built atop the MiniScript language.

It is intended as both an educational environment for beginning programmers, and a game/simulation development environment for more experienced coders.

(emphasis and formatting mine)

It's very easy to get started with. And one can program very cool and interesting stuff in it:

It features a very simple and easy-to-learn programming language called MiniScript, which as approachable as BASIC and as powerful as JavaScript.

If you are looking for an environment to have fun programming whether you are a beginner or a seasoned pro you might want to give Mini Micro a try.
