"Python might be at its strongest when used as a communication middleman 
between the user and the embedded system they're working with. Sending 
messages through Python to or from an embedded system allows the user to 
automate testing. Python scripts can put the system into different states, 
set configurations, and test all sorts of real-world use cases. Python can 
also be used to receive embedded system data that can be stored for 
analysis. Programmers can then use Python to develop parameters and other 
methods of analyzing that data."

I think Physfitfreak asked about the CAN bus:

Hook it to your Pico W, load up CircuitPython, and you're in business. You 
can use the Pico to do local processing and its WiFi to pass it up the 
chain of command.

Some of the work I did it in Forth was for testing systems like aircraft 
fuel and management. Python would be a better choice today.
