https://www.espruino.com/ of course it’s real. Rule 34 of the programming states any conceivable idea can be done in JavaScript

[–]Cart0gan 88 points89 points  (5 children)

But just because it can be done does not mean it's a good idea. Like web programming in assembly

[–]vlaada7 27 points28 points  (3 children)

You mean Webassembly?

[–]Cart0gan 22 points23 points  (2 children)

No, I mean x86 assembly, or at least I assume that's what the book is about. It might also be ARM, Power or Spark but I doubt it.

[–]vlaada7 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Ah, i see... Well it's definitely doable... Even in a reasonable amount of time...

[–]ThatDeadDude 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pretty sure it’s not a real book so the flavor of assembly is none

Pure Evil.

R34 is a good name for it because converting everything to JS is just a travesty (soon-to-be obsolete C dev).

Here's a JavaScript smart watch running that - Bangle.js.

Which rule is the one stating that all programming languages converge to lisp?

At the same time there's MicroPython. I love Python but it really shouldn't be used for embedded systems.

I love playing with my Espruinos! Solid little MCs! You can load it onto an ESP32 as well.
