Comparison of a sensor fusion algorithm the likes of which are used in quadcopters:

| impl | c | py3 | mpy | pypy3 | cy3 |

|------|-------|--------|---------|-------|-------|

| [ns] | 0.176 | 11.462 | 37.633 | 0.818 | 0.590 |

| .c | 1.000 | 65.126 | 213.824 | 4.648 | 3.352 |

mpy - MicroPython

cy3 - Cython

So, ... low resource can't run heavy languages fast (yet?). Good thing is by using MicroPython and writing the time critical stuff in C you can get the best of both worlds while paying the least.

edit: sigh, markdown table

If you add two spaces in front of each line, it formats as monospace. Like this:

  | impl | c     | py3    | mpy     | pypy3 | cy3   |
  |------|-------|--------|---------|-------|-------|
  | [ns] | 0.176 | 11.462 |  37.633 | 0.818 | 0.590 |
  | .c   | 1.000 | 65.126 | 213.824 | 4.648 | 3.352 |
Also, I'm taking a guess here and assuming that the values in the second line mean "execution time as multiples of the execution time for C".

Yes, it was `*c`, but the star screwed up formatting even more ;)
