More than a replacement for learning Arduino, I could see this being more useful as a rapid prototype tool for interfacing between the web and a piece of hardware or circuitry. If all you need to do is check some states and flip some switches, why bother doing the same thing over and over in C when you can do it more reliably in jQuery?
