I read the readme differences, but any obvious benefits to one or the other?

- genmud 6y agoCore modules are a bit better laid out, meaning you will have a more unified experience across different dev boards. Additionally, there are more boards that appear to be supported, but don't quote me on it. Things like os/time/filesystem stuff act how you would expect running cython. IIRC the big selling point is anything that you can run on CircuitPython you can run in cython, whereas with MicroPython some of the OS and time functions act differently, so might not work without code changes.
- shakna 6y agoPoint of clarification: By Cython do you mean Cython or CPython?
- schappim 6y agoI was just having a chat w/ a contributor yesterday and he told me a large aim of Circuit Python over MicroPython is to make the code you are writing in Circuit Python more transportable. I.e. You write code in circuit python, and that same code will run on a little micro, and also a full blown Raspberry Pi. This is apparently done at the expense of some prettiness.
