That's a good point. I suppose my knee-jerk reaction was driven by "interpreted languages are not suitable for low-resource machines," because the fixed overhead of booting up a Javascript or Python interpreter/JIT are comparatively higher in embedded environments. But the space nowadays is a lot bigger/wider than the traditional "embedded" space (where 4KB of RAM is a luxury), so there's no reason a drone or robot can't have a few gigs of RAM and multiple cores to use. So Javascript/Python is probably fine for a huge category of mechatronics applications. Thanks for discussing with me. :)
