I can probably hack something that works for my needs, but I don't have the time to develop a proper library right now. The unit has several operating modes and options which would need a more structured approach that I can give it.
If I find myself with more time than I thought I may give it a go, but wouldn't suggest anyone waits for a full solution from this direction.
Question remains though, is the Espruino community doing things where this type of sensor is of interest? LIDAR seems to be a big thing for positional awareness but poses some issues of scan speed and data crunching capability that perhaps isn't in Espruino's sweet spot.
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.

Another sensor in the same area is the RPLIDAR:-
