Hello.

I just stumbled on Ecma TC53 and want to bring it to your attention in case if you missed it - searching these forums returned zero items. Turns out, there is a formal group of people working on standardizing JavaScript for embedded systems specifically.
I guess it doesn't make much financial sense for @Gordon to attend these meetings, but still as a creator of the most successful (in my eyes) JS engine|interpreter, he should have a say.
It may also be in Espruino's interest to explore it further.

So here is a link: https://www.ecma-international.org/memento/tc53.htm

The IO Class Pattern proposal looks interesting: https://github.com/Moddable-OpenSource/moddable/blob/public/documentation/io/io.md#tc53-io-a-new-take-on-javascript-inputoutput-on-microcontrollers

Thanks! Yes, I was aware of this but I can't afford the £3000/year to join ECMA.

While it'd be nice to get involved, I'm afraid I just don't have the time to get involved at the moment. To do it properly is going to take weeks of time (not to mention implementing the spec that got decided on) and can't really see how I can spare that time :(

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:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
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.
