I'm currently checking out options for doing a little coding on a #MSX1 system (real and emulated, when abroad). There's an adapted #F83 #Forth here (github.com/janaite/msx-forth83) but while it's working, it's not optimized for 40 colum mode. And on MSX1 you only have 40 columns.

Then there's a #BASIC compiler from the former, dutch "#MSX #Club #Gouda" named #Mozart which compiles your MSX BASIC code and gives you some speed improvement - it's here (download.file-hunter.com/Progr).

And, of course there's #TurboPascal3 for MSX which does support 40 column mode (run TINST.COM to set up screen). It's also here (download.file-hunter.com/Progr)

Aside from that you could use a C compiler like #SDCC or #BDSC under #MSXDOS1 ...

I keep finding more amazing videos of Alexandra Dovgan,
this time a totally satisfying interpretation of Mozart's
23rd piano concerto K488, (one of my favorites and one
which I spent countless hours practicing myself) from 2018
when she was 11. If I had been able to play it half so well
(even with the tiny flubs), I would have been very happy:

@Daojoan this is generally very, very true, but #Mozart is not a good example - he's an example of the extremely rare cases in which someone IS born with a capacity well beyond normal people. He started composing at 5. He wrote his first symphony at 8.

He was lucky (?) to be born into a musical family with a father who drove him to make the most of his talent, but if I had turned up in the Mozarts' crib, I would still never have composed Don Giovanni.
