80s BASIC vs Modern languages
How do you compare the coding tools available for young students today with microcomputers from the 80s, such as the ZX Spectrum, BBC Micro, Commodore 64, etc.?
Despite their limited specifications, many people considered those early machines excellent for coding education. They provided a built-in language (BASIC), a built-in code editor, and a graphical-based API for printing and drawing on the screen.
Do you agree, or do you think that Scratch and Python offers more advantages?
