Lua beats MicroPython for serious embedded devs

Lua outperforms MicroPython for professional embedded development due to its seamless C integration, minimal footprint, and scalability. Originally designed for embedded systems, Lua offers easier C extensions, a smaller binary size, and better long-term maintainability compared to MicroPython's reimplementation of Python 3. The IoT Xedge Framework provides a production-ready Lua integration for embedded systems, offering pre-integrated runtimes and comprehensive APIs for secure communications and web services.
