Enjoy the break, we're just shootin' the breeze here... :-)

Anyway, in dumping the links out there I was just thinking that 
EV3 is just another small Linux-based board, 64MB RAM and 16MB 
NAND, so when people start releasing distro images and toolchains, 
I think coding will be a breeze much like Raspberry Pi and all the 
small ARM/MIPS boards. So it seems to me like: no more 
microcontroller, it's a small Linux computer now...
