>>Also, python for embedded development?! I'm sure people do that but it hardly sounds like a typical use case for python.

I think they mean for hobby coding like on RasberryPi. These days anything that doesn't come in a box is called a 'embedded system'.

MicroPython runs on micro-controllers and can even compile to native, a bit like Cython.

Lets not forget many embedded devices are more powerful than 8 bit home computers.
