I think that all these "golden oldies" are less Oldies, than more just real general Goldies for getting into coding and electronics easily, Arduinos and C are much more complicated for naive beginners though being cheaper and well-established. I rather call them classic but still actually updated and "basically" relevant (incl. Maxi-/Micromites, Picaxe etc.) The chips are (more or less) up-to-date and "C" for example is also an "old language", just a few years younger than BASIC. Generally I believe as well:   "TassyJim" said   The more options there are [...] the more programmers there will be ... and from more options more experiences and therefore further evolution can happen. As an example for what we really do not need is the new launch of the Commodore 64 (for Germany in December), this really is retro stuff for just nostalgic purpose without any value exceeding a retro-game-console and therefore useless compared to a RetroPi.
