@xavi Previously the same capsule ran on an ESP32, but I wanted to go smaller :)

I am kind of imagining that I will get around writing my own for the rp2040 someday soon (on freeRTOS) as i really like that setup.

@dimkr is the python code online somewhere? I'm curious :)

@AnoikisNomads There's a link at the bottom of my capsule, gemini://gemini.dimakrasner.com

on power consumption there is famous research and according to it, go, pascal, c are the best, and python and perl are worst, i think tcl and some others too were at the end.

so to me it's a pity when something is written in python and not in go. especially it is interesting why such choice was made when the author wrote incredible software in go. (:

โ€” article about the research which features the table.

@norayr Pico W can run C code written against the SDK, or Python code on top of MicroPython. Go is not an option. When I wrote this server, the Pico W was still new and the SDK was hard to work with. And I think Python is better from the educational perspective, many students (+ many Pi users) start with Python (or learn only Python), so open-source Python code is in some ways more "open" compared to C.
