The site is up, but it feels like nothing is happening anymore The Forum is still showing some current activity, "isolatedly bubbling" just like here! An "era" is usually only depending on its popularity grounded on its "marketing", so it only depends on how much an issue is actively spread (this stupid viral thing). That is why the Arduino and Pi will be called an era as well, but we can not know what the next generation of users (let´s say in 10 years) will be hooked on. Particularly the BASIC issue depends on its further active inheritance for being a memetic and therefore having a practical future value. Simply said it depends an all those who develop these great projects generally from Geoff, through Peter to all ARM, Pi, ESP and whatever things ... and those who go on evolving something from this ... and also those of us who communicate what they are practically doing with it, just giving inspiration. Coming back to BASIC, I just like it for being a (social) phenomenon, actually if you learned how to code generally it does not really matter in what language, but I still think all things like this give more options to all beginners.
