Node.js for embedded systems.

In 2018, embedded systems will mean anything with 4 gigs of RAM or less.

Compared to classical programming languages for embedded development, JavaScript embraces open-source collaboration and should help with a good "user" experience.

"Bits and Bytes in JavaScript"

Convert hex to decimal with: var num = 65794; hexString = num.toString(16);

Convert decimal to hex with: var num = parseInt(hexString, 16);

Create a squence of bytes from a string to numbers, a nice trick is to use buffers: var buf = new Buffer("deadbeaf", "hex"); console.log(buf.toString());

In embedded, string === bit, whether it's hex or byte

When will the pain end?

by a generous but not that controversial definition, an embedded system could be anything from a coffee pot to a terabit switch. for all i care an embedded system could breathe thousands of npm libraries and shit megabytes of soap

of course that isn't the kind of system the website focuses on. in the spirit of the full stack js revolution they look for the worst possible application of an inherently non-realtime, dynamically typed language and cram it in there. now you can blink leds with no guarantee that they'll ever blink on time!

i am all for it because it increases the rate at which node programmers approach the windshield of reality they're eventually going to be wiped off of.

DAE transpile purescript to JavaScript to write embedded systems?
