The risk is real and reasonable if one is willing to rationalise it as a hobby / learning / playing with hardware and a trivial amount of soldering.

In my case I wanted to play with sensors and the pico w. A pi with a sprinkling of c#, Nats, and influxdb connects, controls Ikea stuff, and reports all the things.

Micropython on the pico is not my favourite part of the process but it might have been faster for me than just writing in c.

That’s cool - I’ve done something very similar and used the Worker Service project type along with Quartz .NET for scheduling.
