Hat's off! I'm astonished that people like this still exist. I really have no idea under which rock and in which tinfoil hat they still survive. But we need more such people, so please keep your windmill-fighting. In the meantime,

You must be kidding. Normal CPU architectures - the RISC ones - don't have funny things like "microcode" (well, true RISCs don't have it for sure). Majority of CPU architectures nowadays are RISCs. Some legacy ones, like

Because some people disagree that Lua is nice language. Lean-ness is questionable, e.g. BrainFuck is much more "lean", so what? MicroPython can be built to the same binary sizes as a typical Lua build, and yet offer more language
