The MicroPython programming language
implements a sizable subset of Python that can run on microcontrollers,
thus bringing Python’s easy-to-learn syntax, readability, and
versatility to the embedded world. With its recent 1.20
release, MicroPython introduces a new package manager, reduces its
code size, and adds support
for many new boards, including the Raspberry Pi
Pico W. The project has come a long way since its inception ten
years ago, making it an easy-to-use tool for developing software for
resource-constrained environments.
