I'm curious to know if you've thought about adding web assembly support.

It's been asked a few times, but there are no plans at the moment. I feel like most use-cases are compiling huge sections of legacy code, which may be too large to have too big a RAM requirement to even fit in the available memory anyway.

At the moment, Espruino has JIT or even the ability to write functions containing C code that gets compiled on a server, so you can do a lot of 'fast' things pretty easily anyway.

However if there was a 'killer' use for it I'd be happy to reconsider as potentially we could get a long way pretty quickly just by using the existing JIT compiler infrastructure.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```
Your code goes here
```
Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.

If you upload more than 5 files we will display all attachments as thumbnails.
