There is currently a version of Espruino for the Micro:bit too, so kids will have the ability to use JavaScript. You can even program/debug it over BLE as well :)

However there's been virtually no interest in it so I haven't spent as much time on it as I'd have liked. Hopefully that'll change when the boards start appearing though.

I'd be willing to help put Lua on the thing, if that's of any interest. I guess I'll start thinking about that when the boards ship and I have one available.

Am I right in understanding you put Espruino on the micro:bit - care to tell us more about that?
