For the price, I still think that most developers are better off buying a BeagleBone Black for $45MSRP which can run a flavor of nix. The default "IDE" it ships with is cloud9, and has js libraries to control the pinouts, etc. JS fans can use this happily, or you can put nix on it, and just install Node.

I agree. Even the default distro that the BeagleBone comes with (Angstrom linux) has Node preloaded onto it, out of the box. And the power that thing offers for $45 seems almost impossible to beat.
