MicroPython and the European Space Agency

NASA has been using Python for awhile apparently too: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.python.org&#x2F;about&#x2F;success&#x2F;usa&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.python.org&#x2F;about&#x2F;success&#x2F;usa&#x2F;</a> Great news for the Python community.

Naive question: wouldn&#x27;t lua or scheme be more suitable than python to be embedded in microcontrollers?

Does someone know about what SPARC processors they are talking about? I thought (at least for long-range missions) RAD-hardened PowerPC processors where the way to go.

If MicroPython is the opposite of Monty Python, then is the European Space Agency the opposite of the Holy Grail?

One of the reason why python is easy to get going is extensive documentation, especially at python.org.
