Hi David, You look at Espruino’s compiler, and it was clearly written in a swashbuckling style: Thanks for the links. At this point though my C knowledge isn't sufficient to comment either way. However, I will share that I have a class of 3-6 graders (22 kids aged 8-11 years), who are all

Re: Javascript Support (was Re: [SUMMARY][DISCUSS] A users@ mailing list for Apache Mynewt)

David, Sterling, let me throw in my 2 cents. Firstly, Thank you David Simmons, it's really interesting to look at it from the perspective of the original embedded Java efforts. I recall following that project closely in the late 1990s. In the case of Javascript though, I think the problem may be

Re: Javascript Support (was Re: [SUMMARY][DISCUSS] A users@ mailing list for Apache Mynewt)

also: as you look at this, if you need changes to newt (tool) or can think of ways to have newt make bringing in 3rd party libraries easier, feel free to ping dev@ (ideal) or me directly. we enforce a directory structure on packages with newt, but that doesn’t always need to be the case — we

I'm in, I agree that getting a JS interpreter up and running on MyNewt is a good next step. David On Thu, May 26, 2016 at 12:19 AM, Sterling Hughes wrote: > I'd like to echo the sentiments here: I think this would be great. > > I think good scripting language support is

This is fantastic! Glad to see so much enthusiasm for JavaScript on an IoT device. Here’s the thinking I have had on the subject, and why I have turned to MyNewt to try to make it a reality. JavaScript is hugely popular, and resents a fairly low-bar for entry into IoT development. JavaScript —

Oh, and on PlatformIO -- - They do have a build & package management system which has some of the same functionality of newt. - That said, it's mostly focused on their IDE. - If we can make our stuff work more easily with Apache Mynewt -- I'm all for it! Sterling On 5/26/16 12:19 AM,

Javascript Support (was Re: [SUMMARY][DISCUSS] A users@ mailing list for Apache Mynewt)

I'd like to echo the sentiments here: I think this would be great. I think good scripting language support is very important for Mynewt. Most of the newer chipsets (like the NRF52), have enough RAM and Flash, that you can run the OS, Bluetooth stack, and still have 256KB or more left over for
