Yeah, I'd agree with that for the most part. I think Django's strength is in rapidly building out custom CMS systems. It isn't bad a web apps, but I still think Rails would be my go-to for those.

We need something like this, but in a vendor neutral, open source package. Device makers are wary of vendor lock-in. That said, this is solving a lot of real-world problems, and I'm glad to see them moving this forward.

A lot of the discussion here seems to be about the methodology and value of the "synthetic data" concept, and squaring that approach with the analogy to github. It feels like we can tease those two things apart: 1. Is a github-sty

This has been a major gap for Arduino for a while, and it's cool to see them take a crack at solving it. Beyond the hardware, I'd love to get some more details on the software tool chain and their plans to sell/support turnin

Semi-related: are there any good recommendations for Rust-based RTOSs. Bare metal is great, but for a lot of projects you'll want some sort of scheduler.
