mu VS Flutter

i was wondering if someone could help me figure out how to install this (https://codewith.mu/) python editor on the steam deck. Or if you have any other suggestions for better editors.

You literally plug the microcontroller into your USB on your PC and it shows up as a teeny-tiny USB flash drive, with "main.py" as a file. Edit the file with any text editor (but I recommend using Mu as it has a built-in serial console to the Python engine, auto-complete, and syntax highlighting) and once you save the file, the microcontroller detects the change and reboots, running the new code.

I recommend the Mu code editor because it's simple but has better UI than IDLE. But if they aren't going to be intimidated by its complexity, VS Code is good too. It sounds silly, but having a cool hacker-y looking IDE with colorful syntax highlighting does motivate people to code.

Great for my kids.

Another option would be Mu: https://codewith.mu/

I'd recommend using Mu as your editor since it's dead-simple: https://codewith.mu/

I'm reading Automate the Boring Stuff with Python and he has you use and install Mu which is meant for beginners. Last time I attempted this book I was using VIM in the Linux terminal because I was trying to learn Linux at the same time (Mu kept crashing anyway). This time I'm using Mu like the book wants (although sometimes he says "type this in IDLE" which is confusing) and it is a lot easier learning Python this way: https://codewith.mu/

I've found for beginner coders using codewithmu helps, because it has Pygame built in and is an easy install on Mac. https://codewith.mu/

Deploying Dart functions to AWS Lambda enables you to utilize them not only within AWS Lambda but also integrate them with services like Amazon API Gateway, allowing you to leverage them in Flutter applications as well. This unified codebase in Dart offers great convenience.

Thanks - that link does not appear to be open access, anyways I don't think I've seen it. I'm familiar with Flutter at a high-level (Kevin Moore gave a great talk on it at Wasm I/O), and I think other than requiring users to work in Dart, it is probably one of the most powerful ways to do cross-platform UI today.

Worth noting that their original GPU backend was Skia, and now they are retooling around Flutter GPU (Impeller)[0], which is kind of designed similarly as an abstract rendering interface over platform-specific GPU APIs.

If you are considering Electron/React then I would suggest adding Flutter to your list of technologies to consider. It uses Dart (a language similar to C#) and has a lot going for it… relatively quick to get up to speed with, fantastic developer experience (e.g., hot reload, great IDE support, good development tools) and very strong cross-platform support: it generates native iOS, Android, MacOS, Windows and Linux executables. Check it out: https://flutter.dev/

You can find the React Native documentation here and Flutter Documentation here.
