You can use MicroPython on the FeatherS2 :) Obviously no USB mass storage mounting, but code compatibility with the TinyPICO .

Thank you for posting this, you tipped me over the edge to buy a FeatherS2

... also check out the TinyS2, which has the form factor of the TinyPico, but it has the ESP32-S2 SOC

Now that's really convenient. I'm creating a smartwatch with custom laser micro-projector, and would like to add such feature.
I actually like the FeatherS2 for one reason, which is that it presents itself as a USB storage device and you can just drop Python files into it. Easier than the `ampy` stuff you have to do with the TinyPICO, and it comes with a "Stemma" port that you can wire up most Adafruit/Sparkfun sensors to. And it has mounting holes, which are a godsend if you want to make a proper 3D printed case for your project.
The only downside is FeatherS2 is CircuitPython and TinyPICO is MicroPython, and you don't get threading on CircuitPython.
