Generally AOT compiled code is 10x bigger than a compact and flexible bytecode interpreter.
Also miles more unsafe. I.e micropython is based on Lua, as also microruby and potion, just with a proper OO and GC added.
- throwaway81523 5y agoThe AOT compiled code for Hedgehog is bytecode. I just mean that the bytecode compiler is on a PC host rather than inside the embedded mcu. Micropython is completely separate from Lua.
- rurban 5y agomicropython derived from lua, as well as potion, which started those microlang movement and which I am the current maintainer of, as well as microruby and p2. And a few others.
