Oh, sorry, I meant that generating assembly source code in a
mechanical fashion is something for which I'd turn to using Python for
on a desktop or laptop computer.  Because I'm familiar with the
language and use it quite a bit, and although it would complicate the
build steps, the generated code could be regenerated with ease.

I know of MicroPython, and it has a port to 16-bit PICs, such as
dsPIC33, but I've not tried it myself on PICs.  I've used it on ESP32,
ESP8266, STM32, and Teensy.

You say "microbits".  micro:bit is a BBC educational device, with a
Nordic nRF51822 and Freescale KL26Z.  It can also run MicroPython.
