A lot of embedded processors and SBCs other than the RPi have both a general-purpose computing environment and a real-time environment. Usually, the general-purpose environment is the main system, and it boots up the real-time system when required. I don't think any of them are nearly as convenient as using Python on Linux, though. It's hard to fault them for reaching for a powerful core when they have the kitchen sink worth of high-bandwidth sensors on the thing, including 4 cameras and a LIDAR.
