I admit I’d taken a breif look at the ESP8266, but seeing that there’s an open-source Lua based interface for it makes me very interested in using it for various IoT systems, as Lua is fast and lightweight (as far as interpreted languages go), so I’d be able to quickly write code for the ESP8266 and get it running in various devices with less time spent debugging and troubleshooting, and more time focusing on the actual implementation. Nice post @InverseSandwich, might pick one up to have a look at.
I’m working on a small lisp firmware for the esp8266 - https://github.com/yesco/esp-lisp it’s pretty beta but works.

Good to see a bit of lisp love for the esp8266. I’ll most certainly be giving this one a go once I start using my 8266.
