And it's done. With the latest Web IDE and Espruino from GitHub, you can now do inline assembler:
```
var adder = E.asm("long(long)",
"movs    r2, #3",
"movs    r3, #0",
"adds    r2, r2, r0",
"adc.w   r3, r3, r1",
"mov r0, r2",
"mov r1, r3",
"bx  lr");
...
>adder(2)
=3
```
Looks like nobody is as excited about this as me :(

The assembler is here: https://github.com/espruino/EspruinoWebIDE/blob/master/js/plugins/assembler.js

It still needs a huge amount of work in order to support a usable amount of Thumb2, but it seems promising. Perhaps there's already an assembler that could be used?

I think for fast IO this could be extremely useful - for instance the LED displays mentioned here could have a bit of assembler that bit-bashed each byte.
