"Python is one of the three languages that work with the device." That's cool, and the article says that the Raspberry Pi Foundation is involved in creating learning content for it, which I presume would emphasise Python, given that Python was the RPi Foundation's first choice for controlling the Pi. The RPi has helped to raise the profile of Python, so hopefully this new device will add to that. I wonder what the other two languages are? I'd guess a C++ subset for one, like the Arduino. Not sure about the other. HTML/Javascript is becoming popular in education because it's the easiest way put shapes and animation on the screen, but I don't think it's suited to an embedded device. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
