Childhood me would have done
anything to have that EV3 brick running something like MicroPython! Heck, adult me seriously wants one..!
So cool.
I wonder if they'll release the source? They appear to have decent peripheral support too...

I do believe it set to be open source.
I have 1 of the contributors asking me some questions now in a private message. I think they are currently using the unix port rather then a stand alone bare metal port

Ah, that makes sense since the EV3 brick runs Linux. Do hope they release the source!

There is also a new platform coming out from Lego called spike which will be able to run a bare metal port of MP, I believ they have set August as the release date for the bare metal MP on Spike

Take my money!
It's an ideal application for MicroPython. Excited to hear more about it; please keep us posted!
