To the Tessel team: please do not allow the negativity reflected in the above comments to deter you. You're onto something. Enabling 20,000,000 JavaScript developer to take the jump into physical computing is huge.
One suggestion: there are now several successful platforms for prototyping embedded systems: Arduino, Raspberry Pi, Beagle Board/Bone, etc. What has yet to emerge is a platform that is actually viable for low volume production. If you want to be truly disruptive, find a way to build the other components that are necessary to create real solutions: 12 volt interfaces that can be plugged into a car's accessory port and fire up when the car starts and can cleanly shut down when the power cuts; cases that not only mount the Tessel and its daughter-cards securely, but which pass standard RF emission tests; simple but secure methods for updating firmware on production systems. Make something that not only helps people get started, but helps them to build a business.
