Future Plans? #37
-
I am curious if there are any plans to expand the functionality (add more ES6 support) to Elk? Or, will the expansion be frozen to preserve a smaller size? For example, "ternary operator" was briefly added (preliminary) and then removed in a later pull with a note "optimizations to save flash space" Will "Smaller Size" take precedent over "Functionality" ? |

Yeah, small size and simplicity takes the highest priority. |

Elk implements a very minimum required to have an ability to script.
Adding more features is a never ending process and arguments about what is useful vs what is not.
Elk is going to be expanded only if there is a very obvious use case, on a real-life embedded example, where a feature is missing, and it is impossible or very hard to implement a functionality using an existing set of features.
