MicroPython – Python for microcontroller

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:&#x2F;&#x2F;blog.dbrgn.ch&#x2F;2014&#x2F;5&#x2F;6&#x2F;first-tests-with-micropython&#x2F;</a>

Reminds me of the &quot;Java Processor&quot; [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:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Java_processor</a>

FYI Damien George (creator of MicroPython) will be giving a couple of talks at next month&#x27;s PyconUK (<a href="http://pyconuk.org/" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;pyconuk.org&#x2F;</a>) about said project. If there&#x27;s enough interest, there may even be a more practical hands on session too.

I&#x27;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.

I can understand the need for smaller runtime, but why a dedicated board? I mean, what not on top of arduino&#x2F;pi&#x2F;other existing board?

Is there a list of interesting&#x2F;useful non-hobby projects made with this? Or even something similar to this?

I would love to have some opinions of people that have used this. What for and how was it?
