* Memory is managed using a simple and fast mark-sweep garbage collector.  It takes less than 4ms to perform a full collection.  A lot of functions can be written to use no heap memory at all and therefore require no garbage collection.

The Micro Python board is an electronics development board that runs Micro Python, and is based on the STM32F405 microcontroller.  This microcontroller is one of the more powerful ones available, and was chosen so that Micro Python could run at its full potential.  The microcontroller is clocked at 168MHz and has 1MiB flash and 192KiB RAM, which is plenty for writing complex Python scripts.  The board measures 33x40 mm and is pictured below.
