Thanks - the author tweeted that article, but I'm sure a few here have missed it.
It's a really interesting article...
It's kind of a shame that some people think that because Espruino isn't 100% compatible, you can't use any existing code (and that putting a less efficient but more complete JS engine like Duktape on the same uC will somehow make it better).
I guess we'll just have to wait until someone actually tries to make a product (I know there have been a few Duktape ports) and finds out that getting a nice programming environment on a uC is a lot more difficult than spending a weekend shoehorning a JS engine into it :)
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.
