"JavaScript is a programing language for any platform"-----NO!

If you have ever tried a NodeJS server on an embedded platform, you won't say that. In the embedded zone, you don't want to use JavaScript at all! Well, it is easy to write JS, but there is a huge cost you have to pay; Power Consumption, Memory/CPU Requirements, Speed.

In that zone, all you could have is a pure native code.

Thank you so much. I forgot about embedded applications. What I mean for "any platforms" are Web, mobile and desktop only. Sorry :D
