"strong integration between the creativity of your sketch and the power of Linux"

Got real excited for awhile, then realized they mean liberal arts generic meaning of the word "sketch" and not the nifty into to programming language named "Sketch". Sketch now with I/O, that would be cool.



They more likely meant the Arduino-specific term "sketch", which has been co-opted to mean things unrelated to both the language and the art form.


Even more embarrassingly I was thinking of the "scratch" programming language. Sorry. Being able to upload scratch as a sketch to your yun to animate a sketch would be cool.

The desire for a rasp-pi with the shape and form and I/O plug compatible with the arduino shield ecosystem is probably a common desire and I hope it arrives soon. Someday there will be an arduino running sketch with a COTS arduino motor shield (or whatever) plugged into it.
