Everyone is open to their opinion; in the meantime the company I work for uses it for mass market devices in the medical domain. ;)

The ESP32 port still has a few rough edges, particularly around peripheral control. But it's a popular device and the port is improving all the time.

It does; in fact with my Maix Cube it came shipped with it pre-loaded.

Very soon you'll be able to mount a PC filesystem to appear on the device, so just make changes locally and they're reflected on the device. It's an exceptionally productive way to develop - I even prefer it to working with U

MicroPython has a javascript port that uses Emscripten: https://github.com/micropython/micropython/tree/master/ports... But it doesn't provide much more than the basic REPL. You could also try Micro

It used to be true that pycopy had some minor improvements over MicroPython's asyncio module. But, recently, the MicroPython asyncio module has been completely overhauled, most of the details are captured here: https://githu

I'm giving a talk [1] at PyCon AU in a few weeks on a similar topic. Though you're suggesting Python/C++ and I'm covering MicroPython/C. The concept is to use MicroPython on embedded devices but, if performance is l

Of course, while 8MB of PSRAM is really nice , it's not necessary for MicroPython which can operate without any PSRAM - the onboard 520KB RAM on the ESP32 is fine.

It's also attracting a lot of attention in the MicroPython community; seems like this port will improve rapidly.

My recollection is that 'void main' is illegal and always has been according to all versions of the C++ standard. (I'll check when I'm no longer on a phone unless someone beats me to it!) Further, to confuse the issue, y

I was about to suggest the same; Micropython requires a little more flash/RAM ( https://github.com/micropython/micropython/wiki/FAQ ) than the authors goals but it's certainly no toy language despite

"or better performance"? I'd like to see some evidence if you have any. Rust has great performance in general - and I also agree that it is an appealing language - but I haven't heard anyone claim better than C++ perfo

The API, providing iOS, Android and Ruby bindings, was released a few weeks ago: http://blog.lifx.co/2014/03/24/announcing-the-lifx-api/ I look forward to seeing what you come up with!

So I presume the bolts and added welded plates were actually stronger than the originally specified welded joins? In the interview with Bill LeMessurier it seemed the problem existed even with the original joins - the bolted joins just made

I've lived in Australia all my life and can't say I share the same opinion. Racism, while clearly present (notably in some parts of QLD and generally outside of the "urban core" as Tloewald succinctly described), is pre

Well, the median wage in Australia was A$57,400 [1] and US$50,000 [2], both in 2011. [1] http://mattcowgill.wordpress.com/2013/05/13/what-is-the-typi... [2] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/

Comfortable thumb reach? I don't think so. If anything, I'd say it was chosen because the size 'feels' about right. For me the SGS II is way too big; it doesn't fit in my pockets comfortably and it feels awkward when holding it to my ear.
