: Johnny-Five: The JavaScript Robotics Programming Framework

Came around it as an advertisement in Torrent. Seems quite interesting but how efficient it will be, I mean Robotics in JavaScript?

Having dabbled around with robotics a bit, any procedural, maybe object-oriented language works well enough for the task. However, if you need performance, you don't want to pull in JS and a framework. If you want to stay sane, you probably don't want JS either. (remember that "1"+1 is valid in that language and gives... weird results). So, as it is a matter of personal preference, I'd advise to use something else. The technical aspects support that opinion. AI programming and similar things might require a different approach as well (check out Prolog/logical programming and functional programming).

My 2 cents.

Just getting the work done is like even chimps are happy, I won't settle just for happiness ;)
That was what I wanted to clear out. Thanks and yeah, JS is quite insane, I have seen the pain.
