I thought about this, but at least the atmega328p has nowhere near enough RAM for it. The Arduino Mega's chip is still a bit small (ref this comment [1])

These amount of flash/RAM are probably not realistic for a compliant engine. For instance, the Duktape regexp engine alone takes around 10kB flash compiled.

Luckily Javascript has a great ecosystem, so there are non-compliant subset engines targeting tiny devices. What other (higher level) language scales this way? :)
