The IOT argument is specious and betrays a lack of understanding the challenges in connecting devices; specifically, the choice of controlling language begins at a lower level of the stack. New languages will arise, but they will be statically typed and speak protocols like LonWorks. Don't confuse hobbyist kits that are well suited to JS for actual, useful-in-production programming stacks for IOT.
- kaendfinger 11y agoMy company works on an IoT Platform for connecting services and devices together, and I agree. We have found that JavaScript is a poor choice to target. We focus on a language-independent structure. In the real world, nobody is using JavaScript to power anything useful on small devices, it just doesn't fit well with an embedded system.
