I think hardware cost is secondary for hobby projects compared to learning curve cost. C is very intimidating (and annoying sometimes) compared to Micropython.

I think hardware cost is secondary for hobby projects compared to learning curve cost. C is very intimidating (and annoying sometimes) compared to Micropython. It definitely promotes bad coding hygiene but I don’t really care if I just want something quick and dirty for my own small project.

C is intimidating mostly for memory and strings handling, but on a microcontroller you wont use those, leaving only straightforward parts.

  This is my experience as well. You're almost always printing strings if you're working with strings at all.
