Espruino is a JavaScript interpreter for low-power Microcontrollers. This site is both a support community for Espruino and a place to share what you are working on.

As far as I'm concerned, right now Espruino is running on something miles away from low end. Low end is 8k of flash, not 256k of flash :-P
And low end MCU's cover a huge range of capability - look at all that people do on Arduino with a processor at a quarter the clock speed with a sixteenth the flash and 1/32nd the ram...
I'm all for adding HTTP 1.1 - but only if there's a demand for it! The capabilities of general purpose computers, even back in the 90's, was far beyond what a microcontroller has, in terms of memory and program storage. Is it worth adding HTTP/1.1, in light of the extra flash space it would take up? What is it about HTTP/1.1 that is important for the microcontroller use case?
And yeah - TLS would be huge if we could get that working. Definitely higher priority than HTTP/1.1, unless that has superpowers I don't know. IPv6, maybe not so much yet (sometimes we test our product with it at work. Never had to use it in real life though)
