Arduino or Micropython?

Question

Microcontrollers

Friends, hello everyone.
I would like to dive (rather not very deep) into the world of designing electronic devices.
What is the best environment for programming microcontrollers with an eye to the future? Who has more performance (ceteris paribus) and the ability to port to another microcontroller (more powerful, for example)?
Thanks for answers.

Answer 1

micropython - more to play with than some serious practical application
Start with Arduino - then move on to C/C++

Answer 2

Arduino - programmed in C / C ++, the pole is Assembler.
These are the languages ​​officially supported by the microcontroller manufacturer. That is, there is an official compiler that is guaranteed to use all the capabilities of the microcontroller and at the output we will get the executable code loaded into the memory of the microcontroller.
As a development environment, you can use several options (Google will help) Arduino IDE is the simplest and easiest development environment to start.
