@TomWS, I guess your 3 SPI instead of just one is really just a random example, because the number of these peripherals is given by the hardware. Initially you could only have in Espruino the peripherals the particular chip supported - it is also called hardware spi (to stay with the example). Over time though @Gordon added the software SPI - and other peripherals as software peripherals. The added types of peripheral the poor ESP8266EX - ESP-8266 ESP-## branded boards/modules - did not have or not have enough of, such as Software I2C and Software Serial. But as we know they have some limitations, most in speed / timing, since all is handled by code in Espruino firmware... (see https://www.espruino.com/EspruinoESP8266#limitations).
