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.

For anyone else viewing, you can buy modules from the Espruino shop that have Espruino pre-installed at https://shop.espruino.com/mdbt42q/mdbt42q-module (the Digikey ones won't have Espruino installed).
Espruino shop boards are reasonably competitive with Digikey's (link @Robin posted) price-wise (at 10+ quantities), plus they come with Espruino installed, you get support, and their sales help to fund Espruino - they may just take a few days extra to arrive.
As @billsalt has noted he's bought Espruino hardware in the past and does work both with and without Espruino, so I'm sure he has his reasons and at the end of the day everyone's free to do whatever they want. However in this case if he'd purchased the modules from me I'd probably have been looking seriously at adding the functionality because obviously I want people to buy more Espruino boards, and one of the ways I can do that is by adding features and providing support for the boards I sell.
