- Fri Aug 21, 2015 2:46 am #26660 Given that SMING code is much more readable, are there advantages left to write native code? One can also call the ESP8266 SDK API in SMING code, so why don't native developers migrate to SMING framework?

- Sat Aug 22, 2015 6:40 am #26779 I can think of many reasons, a.o.:

- much more functionality in the very limited amount of ram and flash available
- all low level functionality can be used, not just the features that are exposed by the framework
- no dependence on the quality of the code of others...
- last but not least, much higher learning value

For the features that are not exposed by the framework, one can still directly call the SDK APIs. So, that shouldn't be an issue.
