The way it's intended to be used in the UK is via a programming web interface written by Microsoft (apparently it'll be open sourced!) which will be the standard, but it'll also support micropython [1] and I suspect some form of ardrino style programming, but being a Cortex-M series processor is obviously not capable of running Fedora itself so I think for this to be a feature you need to actually specify how it's actually going to be supported and what tools rather than a handy wavy "support" outline.
