[split] TI-84 new Python announced -- Was --- What would you like to see in a future HP Prime II? (HP Prime², HP Prime 2

Indeed, since 2019, in France the TI-83 Premium CE Edition Python has everything built-in (ARM co-processor), no need of the usb module. Same in the rest of Europe with the TI-84 Plus CE-T Python Edition.
We assume it will be the same hardware for that new TI-84 Plus CE Python. We'll see in about a month

CircuitPython is a fork of MicroPython however, for even tinier boards.

Minor topic hijack about this: the CE enthusiasts community has created a toolchain that is now powered by LLVM (!) thanks to Jacobly's (e)Z80 backend. So C and C++ are working just fine on the CE - you'll just have to work with the limitations of the platform of course. More info in the release notes of the version of the toolchain that introduced the LLVM backend.
