Bottle vs. MicroPython vs. Python vs. Rails Assets Comparison Chart

The MicroPython pyboard is a compact electronic circuit board that runs MicroPython on the bare metal, giving you a low-level Python operating system that can be used to control all kinds of electronic projects. MicroPython is packed full of advanced features such as an interactive prompt, arbitrary precision integers, closures, list comprehension, generators, exception handling and more. Yet it is compact enough to fit and run within just 256k of code space and 16k of RAM. MicroPython aims to be as compatible with normal Python as possible to allow you to transfer code with ease from the desktop to a microcontroller or embedded system.

Rails Assets is the frictionless proxy between Bundler and Bower. It automatically converts the packaged components into gems that are easily droppable into your asset pipeline and stay up to date. First, make sure you use bundler >= 1.8.4. Add Rails Assets as a new gem source, then reference any Bower components that you need as gems. In development, if you have issues with SSL certificates and security is not a priority, you can use the alternate endpoint instead. During bundle install, if Bundler requests a package like this, Rails Assets’ daemon automatically will fetch the component from Bower’s registry, analyze its manifest file, bower.json, repackage the component as a valid Ruby gem and serve it to your application. Dependencies are handled the same way recursively. Gems created by Rails Assets work great with any Sprockets-based application. It works with Sinatra too!
