Chris Williams, on his blog at voodootikigod.com:
I say this because every day I hear more people making newer, brighter, more robotic things with node-serialport. I recently came across BreakoutJS which is nobly attempting to make it even easier to interoperate with sensors and devices. This makes me happy and it should make you happy as well, if just to witness the energy and excitement. For me, the hobbyist hardware domain is more real than programming code, it is crossing of the boundary from abstract to real-life and has a massive potential to do a lot of good for a lot of people. Should it eventually be coupled with a strong AI system like a Clojure? Absolutely, but for now, play and experimentation are the key.
Loving the use of JavaScript and Node.js in robotics and hardware!
