I agree. Using MicroPython in medical applications is with all due respect worrisome. It's not meant to be for crucial tasks and definitely not optimal at all for MCUs. It's really meant to be for simple, hobby applications. It's too high-level (synonym of inefficient) for MCUs. C and Assembly are the way to go for these critical applications (that's why NASA & SpaceX use C and assembly in embedded electronics). Reliability, repeatability and fast performance is key.

Thanks for telling us what MicroPython is for. :P

(BTW, I can't vouch for NASA or SpaceX, but it's no secret that the European Space Agency has been working with MicroPython for many years.)

I don't disagree that reliability, repeatability and fast performance are (often) key; but our experience suggests that these can be (usually, if not always) achieved with MicroPython.
