Not on the current edition
This blip is not on the current edition of the Radar. If it was on one of the last few editions it is likely that it is still relevant. If the blip is older it might no longer be relevant and our assessment might be different today. Unfortunately, we simply don't have the bandwidth to continuously review blips from previous editions of the Radar

Espruino is a microcontroller that natively executes JavaScript and thus lets the large number of JavaScript programmers get started very quickly. Using an event-based model similar to Node.js, Espurino devices can be very power efficient while still being responsive. Less powerful than a Raspberry Pi and slightly slower than an Arduino, Espruino makes an interesting alternative in low-power environments that need responsive behavior but can sacrifice some of the raw high level features and execution speed of those platforms.
