I don't know maybe you are correct I have not coded for embeded platforms so I dont offer opinion about things I dont know. But I do know is that once the creator of python himself claimed that if you use python for performance then you are using the wrong language. But hey what does he know , he only created python . People having proving him so wrong for years now with many libraries targeting top performance. What makes those people special is what makes all innovators special, their unwillingness to compromise, to accept defeat and stop asking "What if?".
So I am sorry I cant digest with "you are not supposed to have fun with...." I am sure you are correct and you speak from experience but I "just dont have the stomach to digest it" as we say here in Greece PS: What is RT ?
