Ok, so no intersecting beams, they're projecting a 2-d image onto the bottom of the pan from below. Very cool.

Transpiling js to lua? nice idea...

https://github.com/tessel/colony-compiler

but it seems they abandoned it with this relaese.

I feel JS is probably better known than Lua, although they're both pretty well known.

Lua's fame is as an embeddable language.  I don't think anyone actually builds Lua stuff because they like Lua.  It's just so easy to embed the interpreter.

JavaScript is picking up a lot of steam in that space.

This is true. I've never particularly liked Lua as an embedded language, though.

But maybe I'm just picky.

I rather like JavaScript as an embedded language. Or Python, heh, if you could embed it.

Python is totally embeddable. There's a well-defined interface for using it that way.

The downside is that it simply isn't a very lightweight embed.

The big well-known JavaScript interpreters (v8 etc) are pretty heavy as well.
I'm currently looking at Duktape [http://duktape.org] as a possible solution though. It looks *really* light, and simple to embed. I don't know how well it works but I intend to find out.

Hey, check this out. [ http://goo.gl/oqH3wc ]

Intel is jumping on the "computer on a stick" bandwagon. Reasonable specs for a lightweight client-side system. $149 for the 'doze version, $99 for the Linux version. Looks like just the thing if all you need is a lightweight desktop to connect to services behind the glass.

It does look useful. I like the idea of turning any monitor into a full computer without "a box" on the desk. It's also just the thing for kiosks and public displays. I think Intel knows that Android will eventually consume those spaces if left unguarded (and it might happen even if Intel guards them) -- and Android, despite Intel's best efforts, usually means ARM.

Intel ought to be making an ARM processor of their own, actually.

Still, I would like to see the SoC become so ridiculously inexpensive that eventually *every* monitor has a local operating system on board that you can use if you don't want to plug a full computer into it.

Like... a smart monitor?

While not all of them are like that, Samsung has certainly already been making smart monitors for a while now.

Exactly. A smart monitor. With a mouse and keyboard. I've been waiting 20 years for the OBVIOUSLY GOOD IDEA of "network computing" to take hold, and we're finally almost there. We just need to take those last couple of steps.

Yea, sadly miracast seems to be cumbersome to implement, and not fast enough...

X11 still seems to be the way to go...

ummm.... no. SPICE, RDP, and even VNC are way more efficient for a remote terminal than X11.
