been thinking about BASIC and how computers can be engrossing and fascinating

i feel like exploring how it might be possible to make computers simpler and easier to learn

what would that involve?

• a far simpler command line than bash?
• a different UI than a desktop metaphor?
• access to the internet?
• a suite of software for doing most simple computer tasks? games?
• a programming environment that encourages creativity and exploration?
• wonderful documentation?
• a dedicated target model of hardware?

honestly i am not sure i can yet properly express this concretely...
