I am incredibly happy to see the progress of MicroPython both into the world of WASM (https://www.anaconda.com/blog/pyscript-updates-bytecode-alliance-pyodide-and-micropython) and Arduino (https://blog.arduino.cc/2022/11/10/micropython-officially-becomes-part-of-the-arduino-ecosystem/)

It's an incredibly impressive piece of software that gets so much of "normal" Python in such a small footprint.

Huge #python WebAssembly news tucked away in this post: https://www.anaconda.com/blog/pyscript-updates-bytecode-alliance-pyodide-and-micropython

"When you apply MicroPython to Wasm in its default configuration, something new and exciting emerges: With a total size of 303KB, this new runtime loads instantly and starts executing MicroPython logic in less than 100ms."

That means the cost of running Python on a web page is now equivalent to serving up a large hero image!
