The newer microcontrollers make it feasible even in your toasted :) Even 
some of the Cortex M4s have a FPU.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ARM_Cortex-M

The RPi Pico that was sitting on my deck when I got home is only a M0+ but

 - Thonny 4 is dedicated to Ukraine fighting the Russian invasion. 🇺🇦 
Please support Ukraine! 🇺🇦
