I think there were just a bunch of other features they wanted to give exposure (ML, speaker, etc), and the kid-friendly tools out there for it won't support Zigbee.

However I bet Nordic's examples for Zigbee on nRF52833 would work pretty much as-is (maybe just changing a few pin names) so you could get up and running pretty quickly.

Espruino (a JS interpreter for MCUs) runs really nicely on this too now - you get wireless programming and debug, and a full Bluetooth LE stack (you can run Web Bluetooth on the device and use to control other consumer electronics).

I'd like to see Apple implement Safari's missing functionality before they try and come up with a replacement for WebGL.

Where are getUserMedia, MediaRecorder, WebRTC, filesystem, vibration, screen orientation, Service Workers, Web Bluetooth ? What about WebGL 2? I'm sure there are a few more I missed too.

Those are things that are really holding the web browsing experience back on iOS/MacOS, not an extra 20% 3D performance and slightly shinier graphics.

Or why not lift the app store restrictions so that Google/Mozilla can actually ship non-crippled web browsers and implement it all for you?

Hi! Thanks, v7 looked great too. mJS looks like a good idea - IMO it'd be nice to standardise a sane, minimal subset of JS that can be easily implemented - it'd be a huge help for all the developers of embedded JS interpreters, and could potentially be targeted by transpilers too.

Espruino's had an FFI interface for the last 3 years! Nice to see they did their research :)

I get this too - thought it was just me/my family.

I never seem to actually 'dream' the answer, or know what it is ahead of time. It just seems obvious when I look at the code again later, and I totally rely on it now.

As others have said, actively thinking about the problem makes it less likely I'll solve it. Usually I just keep looking through my open issues, maybe writing a few lines, until I get that feeling I know how to do it.

Any other disciplines where this is 'a thing' - or is it just programming? I heard someone mention maths...

Oxfordshire countryside in England. I tried working from a small flat in London and I got totally burnt out. I like being able to look out the window and see trees, fields and a river - I've been working full-time for myself for 7 years now, I'm personally finding it's hugely important to be able to keep stress under control and get some perspective... and for me, being able to get outside really helps.

Ideally I'd move to Wales where it's cheaper and prettier, but realistically I need to be able to get to London and airports relatively quickly, as well as to not be too far from friends and family.

Thanks! Yeah, the phone apps that do it turn on the phone's flash and it works much better - but I can't find a way to do that from JS. It seems like one of those things that's in the pipeline but hasn't made it in just yet.

Thanks for submitting this! I'm the developer, so if you have any questions just let me know :)
