 It's time for Blinka, Blinka, Blinka. Yeah, Python on hardware. All right, so every single week we do a recap of all the news. This was, we do a mail back section. This is just like a nice comment on GitHub, which normally isn't used for nice comments because it's the way comments have evolved too. But we do a good job with comments because I want people to write code and contribute. So Alex was really nice. Alex said, before I go create an issue, I just want to say this here. This is rad, makes all sorts of things super easy and awesome. I love it and thank you. I didn't consider the prototyping stuff could be more rapid, but this is just lovely. So this is using CircuitPython. And that was one of the things that we noticed that people are able to prototype things very instantly. GitHub did their state of the GitHub, GitHub universe, all sorts of stuff. So Python is the number two language. It is shooting up. If you look on the chart there, it is surpassing many, many languages. This year, C, Sharp and Shell climb the list. And for the first time, Python outranked Java as the second most popular language on GitHub by repository contributors. So that's why sometimes I send emails to microchip and I'm like, Python hardware, Python hardware. And sometimes I get replies because I think that's where it seems to where it's going. It seems to be, it's now taught in every school. It's the national programming language of France. The US does not have a national programming language anywhere yet, but maybe we will one day, but if you were to go by what's being taught, it would be Python right now. No, I love Python. Some other stuff. This is from Helen. Helen posted this up on Twitter and then Helen was on our show and tell. This is an embroidery systems company called ZSK, yeah, ZSK Technical Embroidery. And this is Circuit Playground Express and you're able to use this as a PM. This is one of our friends from DigiKey and this is leave an Iron Man costume and it uses Circuit Playground Express and it will of course open up on command. This is one of the cool projects that help you breathe. And I could probably use this sometimes for where you breathe and it helps you pace your breathing correctly. And it uses the Wim Hof, we've just heard about that one again, breathing and it will get you to a calmer place. I think they use this on students apparently who are anxious, because that's part of being a student. This is one of the new boards that is on circuitpython.org slash downloads. We almost have 90 boards altogether. And this is from Thea and you can check this out as soon as possible. It's another Eurorack thing. There's an entire world of Eurorack stuff. Yeah, he's like synthesizers. Yeah. This is a Circuit Python badge that was made and it was made for conferences. This person is like, I want to have my own badge that runs Circuit Python and has all these extra things on it. So they were able to use our tutorials, even put the little accessory at the top so you can put other things on it and more. This is from Arturo. Arturo is making more boards. This is the Serpentay, you can use different types of USB and Arturo posts it up one of his first reviews. And I thought this was neat to read. This is from Ben, who is a customer bought it from Tindy. Perfect little Circuit Python controller. This is a great little controller pack with tons of stuff in a tiny package. It was really easy to get up and running. It's powered by Circuit Python as a generous four megabyte of flash. Just plug it in, save a file to drive and your code runs. You can read the rest of it, but I thought that was said even better than we can say. On Hackaday, there is a bunch of things going on because there is a Feather contest. So this is a, it's called a Picardo. And I think on the other side it has John Luke Picard, but this is a SAMD21 with Circuit Python on it. I didn't plan the show with all this microchip stuff, but it's working out for your team. And more students are using Circuit Playground Express, including Circuit Python. Here's some students, you can check out which schools, you have to do in the fruit drum party. The latest issue of MicroMagazine, this is a community made microbit magazine. You can download it, you can buy it and you can also share it. Matt posted up a bunch of MicroPython news. If you want to use MicroPython with a starter free kit, they have information and more available. And here is a photo from the workshops. If you want to get involved, check it out. It's all on Adafruit Daily. It's kind of the micro, sorry, the Python microcontrollers newsletter. You can also check that on our site. And that is the cornucopia of... It's fall. Yeah, Python is our hardware news this week. Snakes and a gourd. Okay.
