micropython
MicroPython is an open source interpreter for the Python programming language developed specifically for microcontrollers. It is a subset of the Python 3 language that has been pared down to run efficiently on several microcontrollers. If you are familiar with Python or looking for a quick way to write code for a microcontroller (that isn't C/C++, Arduino, or assembly), MicroPython is a good option. Depending on the hardware, not all Python modules are available. Make sure to check the documentation.
