Ideally none of the flash space is spent on a parser/compiler, that's quite wasteful if you could compile bytecode offline.

I don't know if you can do that with mJS, alas.

If you want to support eval, then the whole parser/compiler needs to be on the device.

But do you really need eval?

mJS appears to include the parser and compiler, as it seems capable of running code dynamically.
