> Dear Julia community members, I wish to develop a fork of Julia that can run on low memory low ram microcontrollers . Similar to Micropython (python for microcontrollers) [Micropython website](https://micropython.org/) I’m working on low cost wifi module ESP8266 with micropython. I’m working on developing RTOS for Internet of things. Kindly shed some light on my path to reach my goal…
