That looks like a great board to get running!

Justin,

I'd love your thoughts on something, as it seems like you've played
with Arduino a bunch.  Is it the hardware platform, or the wiring
interface that you see most appealing?

I've gone back and forth with this in my head more times than is likely sane.

One the one hand, I really admire the fact that Arduino has created a
simple interface that has let a ton of hobbyists develop prototypes.
Wiring seems to me to be well adopted, and that's usually a sign that
its practical and sane.

On the other hand, if I had the expertise to use a RTOS for
programming, I'm not sure I would need to wiring interface vs a
straight C implementation.  As I'm sure you're aware, the wiring
interfaces are somewhat limited for more complex functions that you
might want to perform (i.e. responding quickly to a change in state on
multiple GPIO.)

Do you think that providing a matching interface (or a port of wiring
to our RTOS) will likely bring a lot of people in?  Or is having the
equivalent as a C implemented HAL that's a bit more advanced
sufficient?

PS: No judgement here on Wiring's interface - I'm genuinely curious: I
spent a lot of time on PHP.  Purists told us for years what was wrong
about our language, all while we grew to power the majority of the web
cause it turned out great engineers aren't always the ones with ideas
for great websites.
