==Education==
Due to their low complexity together with other technical advantages, 8-bit computers are frequently re-discovered for education, especially for introductory programming classes in [[Primary school|elementary schools]].{{cn|date=May 2023}} [[8-bit|8-bit computers]] turn on and directly present a programming environment; there are no distractions, and no need for other features or additional connectivity. The [[BASIC]] language is a simple-to-learn programming language that has access to the entire system without having to load libraries for sound, graphics, math, etc. The focus of the programming language is on efficiency; in particular, one command does one thing immediately (e.g. {{code|COLOR 0,6|basic}} turns the screen green). In popular home computers of the 1980s the BASIC language is typically included in the computer's ROM, and will boot by default if no other bootable media in present. Another well suited option is the [[Logo (programming language)| Logo]] educational programming language whose built-in [[Turtle Graphics]] feature makes it easy for anyone to generate simple graphics. Turtle Graphics and the entire Logo language were specifically designed for the education market, and are suitable for first grade and upward. Both of the above languages are interpreted languages.
