Chapter 1

1. What Python features make it a competitive choice for use in embedded systems?
   • It's taught at many universities around the world.
   • It's easy to learn (I've seen elementary students write Python code).
   • It is object oriented.
   • It is an interpreted scripting language, which removes compilation.
   • It's supported by a robust community, including many add-on libraries, which minimizes the need to re-invent the wheel.
   • It includes error handling (something that C didn't get the memo on).
   • It's easily extensible.
2. Which three use cases does MicroPython match well with?
   • DIY projects
   • Rapid prototyping
   • Low-volume production products
3. What business ramifications should be evaluated for using MicroPython?
   • Risk tolerance for security vulnerabilities
   • Cost savings from needing fewer embedded developers
   • Impact on time-to-market
   • Overall system quality and...
