It classifies differences into 3 categories, each category having a different status regarding the possibility that items belonging to it will change. ## Differences By Design MicroPython is intended for constrained environments, in particular, microcontrollers, which have orders of magnitude less performance and memory than "desktop" systems on which CPython3 runs. This means that MicroPython must be designed with this constrained environment in mind, leaving out features which simply won't fit, or won't scale, with target systems. "By design" differences are unlikely to change.
