Why not just use Lua? :) yes I get it, Lua is yet another language to your stack. But so is MicroPython. We were looking for a higher lever than C language for an embedded Linux system* and one engineer was massively in favor of MicroPython. But it’s not python, it’s based on 3.4 so it’s like python but not. It has its own rules and particularities. When I hire a new engineer I’d rather say “here read this book and learn this language” than “ok we have this python work alike/fork, now learn all these exceptions.” It’s also not a good fit for embedded Linux system programming like Lua is. *) this is an in production, professional environment, which decision will have years of legacy support and ramifications.
