You mean like this [1]? These guys have been around for years. How do you know your microwave doesn't already use one of those?

- DannyBee 13y agoNo, i don't mean PBASIC, a very specialized runtime created specifically for embedded microprocessors. I mean more like what they are using, which is a very young, heavyweight runtime not even meant or really tested for the purpose they use it for. Look, just because you can make something "easier to program" doesn't actually make it "easier to make work".
