A comment on .NET NanoFramework.

It was .NET MicroFramework / Netduino that got me into playing with embedded programming and microcontrollers. Whilst I found it useful at the time (being a C# coder) the fact that it's interpreted and has a huge runtime means it's not really suited for embedded work. It sounds like this is the same so I'm not going near it.

Hmm, I've seen fully interpreted Lua, Basic, Javascript and Python facilitating micro-controller tasks decently well.

So what's the issue with a small bytecode runtime besides a few X performance hit?

FWIW, Meadow takes a different approach; we're working on AoT support right now, so it won't be interpreted.
