8 years ago I worked for an LED lights company which had a bright idea to put whole ucLinux + webserver to be ran on a microcontroller on an LED light to put a claim on just how smart they are, and that now they are "an Internet company" like as if the dotcom bubble hasn't happened.
So it was a $1 LED light board + $32 some old, and exotic MCU setup with own external memory, power supply, etc (even by 2013, ucLinux was already "very dead" without any new MCU support for 8-7 years.)
Aside from most extreme size limitations for the HTML UI, I was genuinely surprised just how snappy it was.
