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.

@Ollie thanks! I think for individuals that's a really good idea...
Thing is, it's becoming apparent that companies are starting to put Espruino in products that they're selling - for them, one beer doesn't really seem that fair. I guess there could be a prod for a beer, and an option for more.
Marijn (linked above) sells a support contract where he says he'll look at any reported issues within the week for a certain monthly fee - although usually I try and do that anyway :)
Like most IoT companies, someone gave them a big pot of cash... Something I'm trying to avoid.
This shouldn't really be a discussion about the future of Espruino, but personally I think it's got a good future. Sure, there are new boards, IDEs, etc cropping up weekly at the moment, but most haven't had (and won't have) the attention and support that Espruino has.
... and that shows - when you get a proper board, plug it in, and things just work.
