I think a reasonably priced RISC-V psuedo-retrocomputer that boots directly into Lisp / Scheme on simple to use hardware would be a great computer to learn programming on.
Should be just as understandable to a newbie as a 6502 / Basic combo, but with a much better path to current computing environments.
- cmrdporcupine 5y agoI was working on exactly this (though not to Lisp, per se) before I got distracted and COVID came. I was calling it "Retro-V". In Verilog, I had a RISC-V core hooked up to my own home-built video logic, and was working on the SD card controller before I shelved it. In the meantime various RISC-V SoCs have come to market which could probably do the job well.
