At least VB.NET is part of the list.

I guess the only modern environments where we could replicate the experience would be something like running MicroPython on an Raspberry Pi 400.

Or the Swift Playgrounds (assuming an external keyboard).

Raspberry Pi 400 can run the full Python3 language, so why MicroPython ? IMHO, MicroPython is more suitable for something like an ESP32 or Raspberry Pi Pico.

I was thinking of running it bare metal, ESP32 and Raspberry Pi Pico aren't a keyboard computer like the 8 bit ones from the 1980's.

Small Basic would be more appropriate than VB.NET https://smallbasic-publicwebsite.azurewebsites.net/

Have you read the article?

[protomyth]

Yes. I still think Small Basic is a good solution.

As follow up to my sibbling comment, it appears that SmallBasic is pretty much done.

Apparently not according to the authors experience, and looking at the Website doesn't look like Microsoft is bothering too much keeping alive.
