May I offer a small correction, because this seems a bit misleading about
the MicroPython project [1]. The whole point of MicroPython is that it
has been designed to run directly on a tiny microcontroller, with no
operating system required, and is optimised for doing so at the cost
of other performance aspects. It can also run on Linux, for development.

Raspberry Pi runs Linux. So although you *can* run MicroPython on a
Raspberry Pi, you generally wouldn't, because there's no point, and
any of the other Linux varieties of Python will probably perform better,
generally speaking, because they will exploit all the advantages provided
by the operating system.
