I had this idea after I got my Raspberry Pi 400 to build a Lua/LÖVE[1]-based instant-on/"bare metal" IDE for kids, optimized for that hardware/keyboard, inspired by the Turbo Pascal GUI that was so awesome in the early 90s, with a mix of STOS/AMOS thrown in. It would be keyboard-operated - mouse optional. Then I got too busy.

Just putting the idea out there :).

That’s such a fun idea!

Load81 might be of interest for this as well, it’s a commodore-like console interface for Lua, made by antirez: https://github.com/antirez/load81
