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.

Old timer like me used to use assemblers for many years, then switched to high level languages just to simplyfy things (MCU are very powerfull so you do not to count CPU cycles now). Of course interpreters can consume a lot of processing power. I guess Gordon wants to integrate the assembler functionality to speed up things when needed...
I personally use arduino or javascript in this case just to hide complexity related to MCU peripherals (to avoid reading manuals each time I switch from one MCU to another). I guess many people do the same for this reason.
