There is actually a C/C++ layer that supports the higher level languages known as the micro:bit runtime[0], which means you can also program the device using C/C++... Another level of progression for children.

Nice, thanks for the link! I didn't realize there was a web-based C++ IDE targeting the micro:bit.

Yes, the runtime is actually built on ARM's mbed, which means their online IDE can also build micro:bit programs :)
