Yes, thanks. Good link. I do live on the hardware/software frontier and always have.

I'm a big fan of Micropython, Python on bare metal. Noob question: What is the chance of an Erlang VM on bare metal?

wow, first I've heard about this. How does this differ from the Nerves project, which also boots directly into the Erlang VM?

Nerves boots into the ErlangVM, but runs on a buildroot Linux. This makes it possible to run on a wide variety of hardware, but with the associated baggage.

GRiSP uses RTEMS[0] as its base which should make its performance more predictable.
