We can run our helloworld sample (https://github.com/Moddable-OpenSource/moddable/tree/public/...) with the xsbug debugger attached in 6000 bytes of RAM on the ESP8266. 5456 bytes for the stack and heaps, 256 for the dynamic symbol table, and 288 for the alias array.

With the 26KB RAM Duktape needs for "Hello world" we can run apps like the Sensor hub described in this blog post (run on a Thunderboard that only has 32KB of RAM total): http://blog.moddable.tech/blog/moddable-tech-presentation-to...

Yeah, that would be interesting. Right now the Moddable SDK comes with the Piu application framework, which has cascading styles, inspired by CSS. You can read all about that here: https://github.com/Moddable-OpenSource/moddable/blob/public/...

A few things:

- XS7 can run in as little as 32K RAM :)

- Espruino follows the ES5 standard (released in 2009), whereas XS7 follows the ECMAScript 2017 standard.

- The Espruino debugger is more like gdb, the XS7 debugger has a GUI.

We have a couple of posts on our website with more information about XS7: http://blog.moddable.tech/blog/moddable-tech-presentation-to... http://www.moddable.com/XS7-TC-39

Yes, absolutely. XS just provides the basic built-in JavaScript objects (Date, RegExp, String, Number, etc.). Everything else is up to you (meaning the person who creates the virtual machine). And memory allocation can be static or dynamic, so you can control how much memory is available.

In case you're interested, here's the doc that describes the C interface to the runtime of the XS JavaScript engine: https://github.com/Moddable-OpenSource/moddable/blob/public/...
