Microsoft’s DeviceScript brings TypeScript to IoT

Microsoft with its experimental DeviceScript technology is extending its TypeScript language to tiny IoT devices.

An open source project introduced by Microsoft Research in May, DeviceScript brings a TypeScript developer experience to low-resource, microcontroller-based devices, including the ESP32 and RP2040 hardware platforms. A subset of TypeScript, DeviceScript compiles to custom VM bytecode that can run in very constrained environments. The VM compiles to 10KB of code, with the floating point library and a Jacdac SDK adding 30KB. Jacdac is Microsoft’s hardware and software stack for microcontrollers and peripherals.
