There already is JavaScript on microcontrollers - espruino.com There is also MicroPython and CircuitPython. Embedded people are very happy about any new languages coming to our hardware. Especially when it brings in new people, i.e. CircuitPython is a great tool for beginners. But there is also severe limitations with these interpreted/bytecode-vm languages. MicroPython i.e. takes a 100x performance hit. And you need beefy big controllers. There however a lot of situations where they are usable, and in in those cases, it's really great and fun to work with.
