A previous [thread](https://discourse.julialang.org/t/bring-julia-code-to-embedded-hardware-arm/19979) on this topic.

I really like the idea from that thread of using GPUCompiler to emit small “kernels” that run on the microcontroller. It is still a lot of work, but it sure seems better than limiting to microconctrollers that can fit the whole runtime.
