Here's a JS that can run on small (64k ram) devices: http://duktape.org/

They also link to other small-footprint JS implementations.

Interesting! Looking... Does it have file system API? It it similar to NodeJS?

No filesystem API, it's quite different from NodeJS.

(NodeJS sits on top of a full featured unix operating system, so it can do all kinds of fancy things)
