This is a neat demo, but its real value for me was learning about MicroPython. Whenever I've asked friends about a small, fast, embeddable scripting language the answer has been Lua. I favor Python much more than Lua so this project is attractive.
Some bits on how eLua compares with MicroPython from their comparison page[1]:
> eLua, with LTR patch, boasts only 5.42K RAM usage after book, down from ~25K with unpatched Lua. (ref: http://www.eluaproject.net/doc/v0.9/en_arch_ltr.html http://www.eluaproject.net/doc/v0.9/en_arch_ltr.html). uPy offers ~540 bytes usage after boot (10 times less than patched eLua), and truly can boot and accept commands with 2K heap.
