Compare Python to Java or C++, for example.

Shall we talk about speed?

Spoiler alert: MicroPython wins for ease of use and rapid development.
However if you want microsecond granularity, clean PWM control, robust
interrupt handling, and other things that may be important in a
microprocessor project, go for C++.

The same applies to standard Python and C/C++. Python has seen speed
improvements in recent years. I don't know how much 3.13 will add when it
hits the streets. I really enjoy Python but I also know its limitations.
It's back to having a variety of tools in the toolbox and knowing when to
use each one.

As far as code completion and so forth I use VS Code with PyLance and
IntellicCode

It's another tool.
