## Some Lesser Known Facts
Since both Python and MicroPython are interpreted languages, they eat a lot of memory. Also, the hex file generated by micro:bit Python editors are consisted of 2 parts: the MicroPython firmware (up to 248 KB) and user's script (up to only 8 KB). See [Firmware Hex File](https://microbit-micropython.readthedocs.io/en/latest/devguide/hexformat.html). Which means it's not possible to build big projects with micro:bit's MicroPython.

One way to "minimize" your script size is to use one-space indents instead of 4.

micro:bit's MicroPython is based on Python 3.4. Which means many built-in Python advanced feaetures, like string.format(), list comprehension, list slice, variable unpacking, lambda function, decorators, generators, @classmethod, @staticmethod, etc. can be used as well.
Also, about how micro:bit get its own version of MicroPython: [The Story of MicroPython on the BBC micro:bit](http://ntoll.org/article/story-micropython-on-microbit) by Nicholas H. Tollervey, who also created the [Mu editor](https://codewith.mu/).
