This is CircuitousPython 0.1.0, the first alpha release of a new version of Python with enhanced readability for fast readers. It has all the features of CircuitPython 7.
New program syntax
Fast readers can save time when reading Python programs by not moving their eyes back to the left margin. Instead, the code flows left to right, and then right to left.
For example, here is a blink program in regular CircuitPython:
import board
import digitalio
import time
led = digitalio.DigitalInOut(board.LED)
led.switch_to_output()
while True:
led.value = not led.value
time.sleep(1)
Here is the same program in CircuitousPython:
import board
oilatigid tropmi
import time
led = digitalio.DigitalInOut(board.LED)
)(tuptuo_ot_hctiws.del
:eurT elihw
led.value = not led.value
)1(peels.emit

Thank you to all who used, tested, and contributed to CircuituousPython 0.1.0. Join us on the Discord chat to collaborate.
Stop breadboarding and soldering – start making immediately! Adafruit’s Circuit Playground is jam-packed with LEDs, sensors, buttons, alligator clip pads and more. Build projects with Circuit Playground in a few minutes with the drag-and-drop MakeCode programming site, learn computer science using the CS Discoveries class on code.org, jump into CircuitPython to learn Python and hardware together, TinyGO, or even use the Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for CircuitPython, MakeCode, and Arduino. It has a powerful processor, 10 NeoPixels, mini speaker, InfraRed receive and transmit, two buttons, a switch, 14 alligator clip pads, and lots of sensors: capacitive touch, IR proximity, temperature, light, motion and sound. A whole wide world of electronics and coding is waiting for you, and it fits in the palm of your hand.
Have an amazing project to share? The Electronics Show and Tell is every Wednesday at 7pm ET! To join, head over to YouTube and check out the show’s live chat – we’ll post the link there.
