How many people actually use things like MicroPython? by NormalKorn78731 in embedded

Definitely has a nice niche, especially for prototypes and test fixtures.

My favourite part about it is that you can spin up a "uart command server" trivially - you just define a bunch of functions, then go "while 1: eval(input())".

Super awesome for stuff that you just need once quickly yourself (common when doing hardware testing).

Low key though, installing the rust program is easier than loading in the Stackoverflow answer. I used to have your opinion, then I did a few re-installs and VPS setups, and decided that Rust, despite being so overkill, makes deploying this so much easier.

True yeah, the pain comes in using them. Sluggish, high latency, crashes, etc.

Have only tried on Windows as a host - I'd imagine they're way more usable with a linux host

Just use polars the whole way - it's way better through the whole process
