The problem is that the underlying vendor "operating system" forces you to use events and callbacks for everything. Disregarding sockets for the moment, we currently can't even run a basic Python script that loops flashing a

A lot of the internals are significantly different, and would be difficult to back port. Eg, a Micro Python object is a machine word which might be a pointer to a real object, a small integer, or an interned string. By stuffing small inte

Actually, most of that SLOC is in the stmhal/ port, of which ~100k is the ST library. The true count comes from the py/ directory, for which cloc gives only 25k. And there are a lot of extra bits there, eg the inline assembler, t

Yes, stat, cs and math researchers don't use arXiv as exclusively as physicists. And we don't pick up references in those areas as well as we do for physics papers, so they are small and not well placed. We plan to improve the c

The problem is getting the data: a list of papers and their references/bibliography. The great thing about the arXiv is that the papers are open-access, that it is updated daily, and that the daily-update is immediately available to d
