I bet a port to the Teensy 4 would be popular for some use cases. No wifi, but 600Mhz, gobs of RAM, and ~$20.

I thought it only had 1MB of RAM?
Might be an interesting target for Janet though!

Argh, you're right. I hadn't picked up that the WROVER boards have even more RAM.
Normally 1MB is "gobs" in the microcontroller world. The ~8MB in the WROVERs is a crazy amount of RAM for an mcu.
Perhaps a more sophisticated approach could be devised involving "faulting in" ClojureScript standard library functions on demand as they are used, and by doing this use less RAM and reduce startup latency. If that were done, things would run on a broader range of chips (less RAM needed).
