====== Espruino JavaScript on the ESP8266 ======

Espruino is an open source Github hosted project that provides an implementation of the JavaScript programming language on a variety of embedded systems.  In 2015, this was ported to work on the ESP8266.  Espruino has its own JavaScript IDE and a thriving community of users.  For details on the Espruino project, see the [[http://www.espruino.com/|Espruino home page]].

As of October 2015, the port to ESP8266 is in beta but appears to be fully functional.  Downloadable firmware images that can be installed on an ESP8266 can be found [[https://github.com/espruino/EspruinoBuilds/tree/master/ESP8266|here]].
