More people have been flocking to "retro computing" for a while now.
My hunch is that it's partially driven by mourning over increasing loss of deterministic "von Neumann computing"; so not pure nostalgia.
It doesn't matter the platform or if "only" in software / web or whatever it's just a great hobby to dabble with in general, especially when kids are getting into it.
The ZX Spectrum Next, Commodore 64 Ultimate and the likes, same as their OG versions are still great "bicycles for the mind" and a great intro to microcontrollers etc.
I'd personally be ready for an FPGA based "Mega Atari 800" or some such!
I get this may be transpiled to the web, but...
