The article does answer the question in the title. "Why doesn’t V8 fit on my microcontroller?"

"It is fast, but prohibitively expensive in terms of memory."

So there's no room for v8 on a $2 board, Toit vm and toit language have been designed from the ground up for the iot world.

Tidbit, Dart team did have an iot project called dartino, before flutter took over the dart world.

Anyway the article was posted on the toit website.

I've been following their progress via twitter. https://twitter.com/toitware https://twitter.com/toitlang
