The whole article gives me a 'I know LUA and have been using it for years, I also tried MicroPython for a couple of hours, so now I'm ready to draw conclusions' vibe. With some 'Python vs C' on top of it. Not everything written about MicroPython is factually incorrect, but some of the things are so over the top to the point that it becomes ridiculous. Just one example:

MicroPython can be equally readable, but in practice, many projects end up with blurred layers between system code and scripting. That creates a maintenance burden as projects grow.

Yeah, right. Even if this is the case (I find it hard to belive the author has really seen 'many' sort of professional MicroPython projects), where's the proof the language used was the deciding factor in that. And not the project management for instance. Or simply the dev's architecturing abilities.

This is just an ad in a trade rag masquerading as an article or something. It's an ad for that Xedge Lua framework.

Much of the article resembles chatgptese... though I suppose for adslop it doesn't matter whether it's written by a human or an llm

"It isn't just X, it's Y" is textbook ChatGPT.

ChatGPT must have learned that from somewhere...

You're quite right to call that out! Of course real people also use that same formatting sometimes; but when ChatGPT does it? It's just chef's kiss.

as other commenters noted, this sounds like chatgpt and it gave me indigestion when reading
