Sorry if this is too off topic, but I figured some people here might be interested in this. (disclaimer: I am not related to this project, I just think it's awesome)
MicroPython is a tiny python 3 interpreter designed to run on microcontrollers. Recently, the creators ran a Kickstarter campaign to port it to the ESP8266, a wildly popular wifi development chip. The kickstarter was successful, and the code is being made opensource, so even if you didn't back the project, you can still download and compile the code yourself. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/214379695/micropython-on-the-esp8266-beautifully-easy-iot

Awesome. I'll be trying this.

Lol, I was drunk one night, and backed it 😬 I am apparently going to get a board also. Maybe I can just frame it and hang it on the wall 😱

I am sure it will be beyond me.

If you don't want the board, I know someone who might *coughmyselfcough* ;)

@Ivoah So do I *coughmyselfcough*

I am using a m5stack with micropython

I was able to build the firmware myself on windows 10 with linux-subsystem of the loboris / m5stack branch

I've played with Wipy one year ago but there was a lot of bugs thus the hw is now waiting in my cellar...
