I’ve used “circuit python” which as explained is a fork of micro python. It’s very easy compared to c. Enjoyable even.

but I often wonder about battery life compared to the lower level languages.

I've spent the last couple of months redoing one of my Arduino projects in MicroPython and CircuitPython and I'm pretty happy with the results. I think the *Python version will be much easier for people to use then the Arduino version was and that will make up for the shorter battery life.
