Damien George - Creator of MicroPython
ABSTRACT
MicroPython is a lean and efficient reimplementation of Python 3 that runs on microcontrollers and constrained systems. It allows you to program these low-level devices using all the high-level constructs that Python affords. Many Internet of Things devices have a microcontroller [...]

Outstanding. Thank you Damien for conceptualizing and creating MicroPython and the accompanying hardware.

I just started using MicroPython. It’s funny, I didn’t recognize the name, so I was thinking, “I wonder what this guy knows about the subject.” Excellent background information. I had no idea it’s been around for six years. I’m having fun with using MicroPython with the Raspberry Pi PICO W. It’s very easy to use, and fits my needs very well.

Amazing.. Damien is a real living genius indeed

[@esjuve]

So good!

[@hassinayaz7310]

future looks good :D

BPI:bit is an ESP32 with 32-bit Xtensa LX6 dual-core processor based embedded system. It supports Webduino, Arduino, MicroPython as well as Scratch X programming environments.

Will it be ported to ESP32 ?

it's a bit sad that there aren't many developers on this project, the community seems to be inhibited by mainly Damien, who wants full control and oversight over the project (slowing things down). It should be allowed to contribute more freely and faster implement things. As an example, circuit python is a sort-of-fork of micropython that really is rather standing on its own (when it shouldn't be). In sum, micropython has a tremendous way to go, libraries and functions (and platform specific functions, like the popular esp32) are missing - and so is the vast user and developerbase (that exists for arduino, also thanks to adafruit), when it has great potential.
