Out of curiosity, what about this particular project made you opt for CircuitPython? Was it something targeting hobbyists and wanting to allow them to tinker with it? I'm not trying to put it down because I like CircuitPython, but I would not even consider it for a general production device.

It was a nonprofit-style project without much wiggle room. We wanted to prove that an idea would or would not work in a small amount of time, which happily overlapped with the fact that the target environment for the device wouldn't require long periods of battery life. I'm happy to say that the project was a success so who knows, maybe one day we'll have someone port it to C and continue from there.

Sorry I can't be more specific.

No worries, that was plenty of detail, thank you. I fully understand working on things you can't discuss the specifics of.
