👉 The Monaco Project is an open-source initiative aimed at developing a lightweight, high-performance virtual machine (VM) for running Python code. It was created to address the limitations of existing Python runtimes in terms of speed and resource usage, particularly for embedded systems and IoT devices. By leveraging the MicroPython environment, which is designed for microcontrollers, Monaco enables efficient execution of Python scripts on resource-constrained hardware. The project focuses on minimizing memory footprint and computational overhead, making it ideal for applications where power efficiency and size are critical. Monaco's architecture is modular and extensible, allowing developers to customize and optimize the VM for specific use cases, thus bridging the gap between high-level Python programming and low-level hardware interaction.
