• Why to send js code to MCU when you can send instruction or hex file to M.C.U like arduino.

  I just thought espruino was built only to bring js developers to embedded world but after viewing all your responses. I change my view. It is interesting to have interactive debugging in embedded systems rather than flashing it every time or using jtag.

  Thank you all! for clearing away misconceptions on espruino.

  When I read kickstarter page. It says that espruino doesn't employ any Operating System but uses specialized firmware for interpreting, processing, and scheduling as the memory is so low that O.S can't sit inside.

  Boards used by espruino come under stm32 family and below is the link to program them by assembly language.

  My argument is that why not espruino webide (by espruino) convert the js code to instruction set and then flash the M.C.U, in that way we can save more memory and put more code inside.
