Javascript on Embedded Devices

As embedded devices become more powerful and more programmers learn Javascript, it becomes increasingly useful to run Javascript on Embedded devices. Additionally, advances in the optimization of Javascript, such as Asm.js and the V8 JUT machine code compiler, make Javascript a better fit for small computing environments.

The Node.js engine runs Javascript in interpreted mode on small(ish) systems like the Raspberry Pi, or other ARM core systems. One good example is Google Coder
