Hmm, I was gonna use C++, but should I code my low-power embedded project with micropython? No. No, I should not. Good lord, Python sucks. "It's good for learning." No, *BASIC* is good for learning, Python is good for... um... things that are slightly too complex for a shell script? Math? No, use R or Octave. Can anyone explain what Python is good for that something else isn't *significantly* better for? Maybe it could be good as a replacement for Javascript? #Programming #Python
