It would probably be better to say this is a modern, ARM core based machine that boots into BASIC like an old micro. Technically, the Acorn Archimedes, running an ARM-1, also had BASIC as a programming language, and there are several variants of the language available on modern SBCs.
Those are neat little machines, I tried to find a use case for one but eh...Python on a Pi does what I need.
edit: There's also this one https://www.ezsbc.com/index.php/featured-products-list-home-page/ezsbc1.html that runs BASIC if you're looking for something a bit cheaper to play with.
