Micropython is a hype!
Micropython can be seen as "a conversation with the microcontroller".
You can send it command using code, and it will immediately talk back. You can change a line of code in a program and the change is immediately incorporated.
Micropython needs disk space on the microcontroller (or around on the board): 60K

Arduino
The Arduino doesn't "talk" micropython. Its memory is too small.
