True, but this is Python that is embedded into the chip. Personally I think if this idea all works out, as he is taking Python 3 and shrinking it down to run on the ARM…. with no OS.
For me that is the interesting part why a Python geek…….. might get excited by the idea. Lots of other boards showing up these days that are running Linux and Python on them to keep an eye out for as well. But this is one truly is looking like a "micro" Python….. that should work out where so many others were to early in the chip curve. -Kevin On Dec 5, 2013, at 9:26 PM, geremy condra <debat...@gmail.com> wrote: > You've been able to run Python on ARM for years now.
