Love MicroPython and CircuitPython

  How well do they work for embedded apps? I generally thought that the non real-time nature of python means you can’t do anything serious with python in the embedded world. Asking as a serious question though from a genuinely curious point of view. I was thinking of rust or zig as the primary methods of moving embedded systems out of c and c++.

    Microcontrollers are a lot more capable then most people think...

    They're great if you don't mind running out of memory every few minutes. I guess maybe if you use a platform with more than 32 kB of RAM, they might work better...

    The company I work for uses MicroPython for medical devices up to Class B. So, yes, it can definitely be used for serious work! If do you have real-timeish needs, MP makes it pretty easy to write modules in C.
