My goal has always been to support a wide-variety of devices.
As for the name, I cannot take credit. There is a good story behind it though. ;)
As for the need, I sort of explained the motivation this comment: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10622675 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10622675. Data management would drastically reduce the development effort associated with data-intensive applications for smaller devices, in an IoT setting or otherwise. I've actually recently travelled to the University of Michigan to talk about this work, and got lots of good feedback. One of the professors invited me and has asked me to study with him, because he feels there is a need. One of his graduate students there is working on integrating LittleD into some of his work already!
- nickpsecurity 11y agoInteresting. The main drawback I saw was that your paper is one of those paywalled behind ACM. Many end up freely available on academics' sites, Citeseerx, etc. Yet, some portion are stuck where few will ever look at them. Another example recently on here was OcaPIC: Ocaml on PIC MCU's. Recent paper locked up where people can't read and improve it. Is there a public copy of your paper for people here to read? Might increase interest and contributions.

- nickpsecurity 11y agoBOOM! Thanks! For some reason, search didn't give me anything but ACM, ResearchGate, etc. Glad you kept a free copy online. :)
- nickpsecurity 11y agoExcellent design and tradeoffs. I doubt people would've believed you two would've taken it this far down. Keeping a copy in case techniques like this might apply to future 8-bit work. :)
- geedy 11y agoThank you for the feedback! I actually have a lot of thoughts of ways to improve this too, which is why I am applying to do a PhD in this area.
- nickpsecurity 11y agoGood luck on the PhD!
