Other differences between the two languages involve performance. Python is generally slower ... hardware running the language and the code's complexity. MicroPython wins the performance crown ...

There’s an ARM CPU helping out with setup and memory tasks for now, but the Python code ... than MicroPython based on this result, or 50x faster when normalized for the clock speed differences.

In fact, the same basic code would work between two computers running vanilla Python just as well as the ESP8266 running MicroPython. import socket import neopixel import machine def connect(): s ...
