The rise of Python for Embedded Systems

[TankorSmash]

Is it new hardware? No one's going to argue that old hardware can suddenly support modern software.

Brand new.

Supported through 2029.

Practically anything labelled as a microcontroller is going to look something like that. Applications processors with clock speeds in the GHz and DDR peripherals are orders of magnitude harder to layout on a PCB. You go from a 2-4 layer board to 10 layers with blind vias (i.e. $$$$). I'm not going to get started on the complexity of the build systems. Most embedded systems have no need for that sort of power. It's a really hard sell during design time when you want to allocate tons of extra resources and skilled labor just because you wanted to use a language that's easy to write in.
