Thanks for your support everyone, we had a great start and hopefully the campaign will be funded soon :-)

We will continue supporting and developing the WiPy as well, so no worries about that!

Let me take the change to tell you that part of the funds raised by the campaign will go into improving the garbage collector so that memory can be allocated inside interrupt routines, and also to develop the multi-threading features that MicroPython is still missing. It will be cool to have a threading module, right? ;)

Cheers,
Daniel
