And the best thing: You will have to learn how to read a binary display. 
The language is JavaScript. that of Mordor, which I will not utter here
This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a f***ing golf cart.
"I don't know, extraterrestrial?"
"You mean like from space?"
"No, from Canada."
If software development were a circus, we would all be the clowns.

And you can't read the display when it's off.

Wonder if it had a Rolodex app for all those store mom's used to visit. And coupons...don't forget coupons.

I am going out on a limb here...
But those buying this device... Were not saving 5 Cents on Paper Towels with a coupon.
Like they said, this cost about 3-4 new cars worth of cash. WOW.
So, cars got more expensive, and computers got much cheaper.

You spy on your poor cat? you know that this means that eveyone and his dog, from Mickeysoft to Homeland Security and the CIA now know about the poor thing. If you spy on it, it must be involved in something.

Have you ever met a cat? Of course they're up to something.

Well... I played my first computer games in 1975, although not at home but at school. The Altair 8800 was released that year. Sure, that was six years after the kitchen computer, but the 1960-70s were not quite as Dark Ages as we tend to think. After all: We did put a man on the moon in 1969. I haven't written a single letter by hand since 1975; we had a computer controlled IBM Selectric as an output device. (And later the Diablo, which sure deserves its name )
Add another four years: In 1979 I was developing computer games (although not as a living). I maintained all sorts of archives (letters, book/record lists, and recepies) on floppy disks. They were for use on a machine that handled 20 simultaneously active screen terminals. The machine itself was smaller than the stereo system of some HiFi-freaks: A single six foot tall 19" rack (and lots of that was open air!). Our model, a Nord-10, was released in 1973 (a 1967 model extended with virtual memory) as a competitor to PDP-11 from 1970. A friend of mine did have a PDP-11 at home in the 1970s. They were expensive, of course, but so was this kitchen computer.
The main difference between the PDPs / Norsk Data computers and the kitchen computer was the exterior, the WAF: Few housewives would want to have an "industrial design" 19" rack into their kitchen.

My wife and I had a home computer (a PDP-8i) in 1971. She built a consulting business around it that evolved into a successful corporation that's still doing business today.

You could run Forth on it!

Yes, that would work. Implementing a Forth system would not be so hard, unless that discrete processor has no stack.

I guess the ouput went to some sort of TTY, maybe an ASR33, because VDUs were hard to come by in those days.
I wonder if it was hot pan resistant.
We're philosophical about power outages here. A.C. come, A.C. go.

Nope not a programming question. This brilliant table will help you choose the right technology for application. AngularJS vs. ASP.NET MVC comparison | vsChart.com
Scroll about half way down the page.
Scroll to end of page and read up.

About a year ago I had to advice on which technology to follow to develop the new version of our main application (an enterprise level one)...
I checked all and more including Angular and MVC of course...
At the end I created a hybrid framework using WebForms (for RAD), MVC (to enforce separation of concerns) and ideas from jQuery, Bootstrap and Angular (to create a responsive UI)...
As for the table - it is sloppy for the best... Missing/wrong/misleading... Do not use it for decision making!
Skipper: We'll fix it.
Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this?
Skipper: Grit, spit and a whole lotta duct tape.

Not sure if you are serious. It is a joke table.
