I used to make all kinds of cool projects with lejos (https://lejos.sourceforge.io/) and am now a bit tempted to get the new toys and test out the Python interface. Would be nice if Lego actually invested more time into making a standard programming interface for advanced users.

It looks like LEGO is investing in bringing together the popular Raspberry Pi platform and its toys, and abandonning dedicated apps such as the Robot Inventor (Mindstorms) app.

I tried spinning up lejos for the RCX again a few years ago, but you do have to find a JDK 1.5 bundle somewhere.
