 Python or hardware time? Okay, this week we're going to focus a lot on MicroPython, but first, a little bit of a note, there's this programming language index that comes out all the time and it shows the usage of all the different languages and Python kind of went up to the top, probably because of machine learning and data sciences and all that, but also- And this is for embedded use. Microcontrollers, it's for a little bit of everything. Yeah. So Python's up there, so sometimes folks are like, well, where do I know? What language should I think about? And this is ones that are used the most and probably will continue to be like this for a while. So if you learn Python, not only do you probably have a marketable skill, but you're also able to do things like hardware now. So consider it. I'm gonna get into some of the MicroPython news soon. We have a roundup of what happened over at PyCon. A lot of hardware projects. We're still wrapping up some stuff from, may the fourth be with you, may the fourth. The Star Wars project, yeah. Yeah, and then just a lot of interesting stuff. While the iPod is now retired, you can kind of make things like, this is a password keeper, but you can still make interfaces if you like the look and feel of something like in the old school iPod. You can, and then congratulations to Southern Party. They released some new hardware. This runs Circuit Python. And then I just wanted to mention, with MicroPython, there's new cool stuff going on all the time. There's a RISC-5 build that's going on. We celebrated MicroPython's birthday last week, happy nine years old. And this was one of the cool things that you can do with the code, the visualization. We did a chip shortage about the ST chips for last week. But I have some bad news though. Here's the bad news. Hey, Adafruit's a sponsor. Organizations can sponsor. Did we sponsor them? We sponsored, and we wanted to sponsor just to get it almost over to the edge. So we're doing like 500 bucks or so a month, and we also have donated directly, and we're also gonna do other sponsorships with MicroPython. But I was like, hey, 84 of us are now sponsoring. Surely, because of nine years. If we get like 16 people to donate a couple bucks. We just need a couple people. So, so the bad news is, nothing's changed in a week. No one else has sponsored. So you need to go to github.com slash MicroPython. Don't buy stuff from Adafruit tonight. Just do that. Yeah, remember. I am once again asking for your financial support. That's Damian. No, it's not. So the reason for this is, if you're an open source maintainer, contributor, creator, and you have a goal and you don't hit it, you might decide not to do that again. Or other people might see that and they say, I'm not gonna do it because I couldn't even get a small number of people together. So please, please, please, please. I think we're the biggest sponsor right now. But maybe we can just get a bunch of small sponsors out there. And just let's get to 100%. So github.com slash MicroPython. If you work at a company and you're using MicroPython and you probably are, I don't think we have competitors. I'll call them like, whatever they are. Like there are other companies that are in our exact business who they'll base their designs off our hardware, which we like, it's open source hardware. They also do a lot around MicroPython and CircuitPython. Please, please, please consider. Support them. You have your repas on github. You can sponsor as an organization now. Please, please, please. Especially because there's just chip shortage and so there are no pie boards available right now because the ST chip isn't available. They're trying to get more but it's harder for them to get income, sponsor them. I'll say this. Even if you just do like a dollar a month, just like, let's just get it more than 84 because it's a little, it's a bit of a bummer that we did this push last week and we were the last one to do it. So anyways, I got to use this graphic. I don't mind, yeah. There's 84 people dancing on the dance floor. Don't you wanna join us for having a good time? Yeah, that's Python 101 News this week. That's some good guilt.
