GAME CHANGER. sorry for caps but this is huge. I have used arduino heavily but I can tell you it has its specifics and a universally accepted language with nice syntax like python will generate a massive uptick in projects and creativity.<p>That being said I would love to contribute.
Looks promising, i found this post if someone is interested: <a href="https://blog.dbrgn.ch/2014/5/6/first-tests-with-micropython/" rel="nofollow">https://blog.dbrgn.ch/2014/5/6/first-tests-with-micropython/</a>
Reminds me of the "Java Processor" [1]<p>I wonder if anyone is trying to revive that now?<p>[1] <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Java_processor" rel="nofollow">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Java_processor</a>
FYI Damien George (creator of MicroPython) will be giving a couple of talks at next month's PyconUK (<a href="http://pyconuk.org/" rel="nofollow">http://pyconuk.org/</a>) about said project. If there's enough interest, there may even be a more practical hands on session too.
I'm not really a huge fan of Python. None the less this is a really interesting project... makes me wonder if something similar could be done using Scheme.
