One for Georges/Orrinward/etc?

luvely, I was eying a beaglebone for my son,
I already got the flat screen from a old thinkpad laptop,
the project is simple, I just need time and a vga adapter,check out the beagle bone

Meh, what's the point? An Arduino clone that's in Javascript instead of C++. Arduino can be used on any OS, so the compiler claim is bullshit.
Their syntax examples try to showcase that the code is more compact, but it just shows the lack of control it introduces. I like this line:
"This is where Espruino shines. Just copy your code again, change the variable name and the light you want to flash. In Arduino you have to re-write your code completely."
What dipshit morons. No, just write a fucking method like a real programmer would, not copy and paste the same shit over and over.

Of course!
But if you're using a setup like this to learn how program in JS outwith a web environment, then doing it in the lumpen fashion is a relevant early step too, no?
C++ isn't the globe's language - JavaScript is, for better or worse.

this makes me want to buy an arduino due even more now.
- don't do like me and buy the mega, it's overkillGeorgesIV
- i have the mega and the pro mini and the standard issue ones, i need power and inputsprophetone
- in fact i need so many I am probably splitting my current project up across two arduinosprophetone

if some of you nerds are into this stuff, there's a cool site i peeped recently: www.tindie.com

this guy's kits are dope. i haven't bought one yet - trying hard to keep the credit card in my wallet . . . esp all the 909 stuff.
