Different kinds of cool kids everywhere.

The pic stuff has some interesting options for extra peripherals. The language and your ultimate goals are the key. It is nice to use an interpreter like with Flash Forth, or Micropython, or Circuit Python. Any of the Forth languages can be fun. However, you will be doing stack based programming, so branching is a bit more complicated. Anything from Adafruit with support for Circuit Python is nice and well documented. Thony is an easy way to interface without some electron, google, or microsoft stalkerware. The cool kids take the time to learn both Emacs and Vim, usually Doom Emacs and NeoVim.
