I hope we see JS for microcontrollers fast enough so we can enjoy bloated Electron apps running on microcontrollers. :)
I mean, who wants anything but the fastest, leanest languages running on microcontrollers?
- hh3k0 4y agoThat's good bait. In fact, I've almost reflexively down-voted you after reading the first line.

- solarkraft 4y ago> who wants anything but the fastest, leanest languages running on microcontrollers? Me. I value speed and comfort of development more than micro-optimizations. Coincidentally this is why Electron is popular.
- salawat 4y agoElectron needs to work on it's debuggability. Seriously. That crap is a nightmare. Especially in production mode. Or maybe I just need more time with node, but trying to debug the main loop sans IDE is an act best described as excruciating. Once you start spawning new processes as well, you end up having to custom roll code to massage the port the spawn emits the inspect-brk for, which can end up getting quite complex if you have enough different entrypoints.
