Somewhat unrelated to the article, but I'm curious - how commonly and for what purposes are other implementations used for?

MicroPython [0] for instance gets mainly used on microcontrollers. Hard to tell how common it is, but it definitely gained some traction, also runs on the micro:bit [1] which gets used for teaching. Which isn't surprising: Python is easier for beginners than C. i don't know about other implementations though.
