So, one of the authors here: we just announced this site on https://twitter.com/bbcmicrobot/status/1333496146400985088 after being caught a little off-guard with this HN post! We still have a bunch of things to improve on, so please let us know and file issues (https://github.com/mattgodbolt/owlet-editor/issues) and we'll try and improve things!

Thanks!

I never had a BBC Micro having grown in up the US. I was happy to discover that the BASIC on it is close to the Microsoft implementations that I am familiar with.

This is cool. It would be great if the editor linked to good docs/walkthroughs.

That's definitely the hope. The Examples tab is supposed to be more of that, currently we hacked it to point at the more complex demos, but we have some ideas on making more "tutorial" like content.

As someone who was plonked before a blinking BBC Micro cursor to entertain themselves as a kid, I consider this cheating!
