> mJS fits into ~25K of flash space and less than 1K of RAM. This is awesome. It affords you the smallest possible functionality with the greatest possible flexibility.

I agree, but having said that, I have been trying to use Mongoose on the CC3200 and it is very difficult with Mongoose and mJS. Mongoose with mJS occupies upwards of 225K of flash, and the CC3200 only has 256KB of RAM (and the program must be loaded into RAM to execute). Plus I believe you lose another 16K to the Mongoose bootloader.

But this is more of a problem with the CC3200, admittedly; 256KB of RAM isn't great for an internet-connected device.

yes the cc3200 is a difficult platform to deal with, but one that is very popular due to the proliferation of the boards, the excellent battery life capabilities and the number of inbuilt sensors. The support for it isn't totally baked yet, at last as far as my last go-round with it, but it is being actively worked on.
