Thanks James for the links!
I have been thinking about asking the question because I am developing
some things now with cheap and easy to use Arduino (nano) boards, and
then wanted to have them ported to PIC because of their leading XLP
MCU's. My applications are in renewable energy (Solar MPPT) and
electromobility battery managment (BMS) so wasting precious mA is not
nice ;)
I was also very exciting about the MicroPython kickstart, not that I
hope that it will ever run on energy saving 8 or 16 bit MCU, but
because I do like high level coding with portability, instead of
learning machine code again and register twiddeling...

Keep those infos comming!
Thanks

Tobias
