XS7 – A compact JavaScript engine for embedded applications

Are there any micro-controller style boards that run this (for example - something espruino-like)?

Would be very interesting to play with in that context.

Any NodeMCU compatible ESP8266 board should work. Moddable Zero starts with a NodeMCU board and adds a color touch screen for $20 (and they are handmade to order in California). http://www.moddable.com/moddable-zero.php

I saw that just before you posted. Ordered one! Excited to try it out.

Looks like this thing is derived from the work by Kinoma[1], who has/had a $25 micro with networking. The link to their retailer is dead, though.

Yeah, but Kinoma is basically dead and all their products discontinued.

It looks like there's nothing out-of-the-box but they do recommend ESP8266 based boards[1] on their site. Which is interesting as I thought that was just a wifi chip...

edit - It does look like they're producing their own board[2] as a demo/hacking platform which is pretty great!
