Micropython is soo cool, but I'm a bit disappointed by the ecosystem.

Developing stuff via WiFi and a standard IDE has pretty bad tooling.

I was thinking about building something regarding it (I've already done much of the work), but keep wondering whether the system has a future because I rarely see people talking about it. Compare that to Arduino.


I did a fair bit of Micropython development a couple of years ago and never really used this aspect of the ecosystem. I was just programming on ESP32 via physical connections.

I think the main limitation that I experienced from micropython is that it’s an abstraction over the low level things. It’s great for something simple, but eventually you’re probably going to find yourself recompiling it for some configuration change not available or for some optimization you need.
