MicroPython
- [Instructor] Python is one of the most popular programming languages in use. It's powerful, but easy to learn. Python has been adopted for many applications, from web development, data science, and robotics to machine learning and game development. Any programming language has to be reduced to a computer's native language or machine code. The machine code instructs the computer in minute detail how to perform tasks. Some languages, like C++ for example, are processed or compiled to machine code. Then the machine code is loaded to the computer for running. Python, on the other hand, is what's called an interpreted language. A program running on the computer interprets the Python program or script directly without having to compile it to machine code first. Development with an interpreted language like Python is very interactive, you can see the result of changes almost immediately. But interpreted languages can be slower than compiled languages and use more resources while running…
