Ask HN: What don't you like with the Arduino platform?
2 comments
The big issue is - can you remain compatible with the arduino libs ? because if not, between the arduino and the mbed ,i'm not sure you could offer much value.
As for multithreading,debugging and events i've already seen an arduino debugger, easy to use rtos and maybe even easy to use event system.
The problem might be mostly marketing ,not development. But i could be wrong.

Well, I'd like to see more support of MicroPython on AVR, for starters - it already covers a bunch of platforms, but more hands seem welcome :)
If that's not your cup of tea, I'd say what I don't want is another IDE that forces me to have a JVM installed (I already do for Clojure, but sort of resent it) and ARM support (as a development platform, since I use an ODROID development board as a "desktop").

I'm building a new framework for AVR microcontrollers that's radically different than the standard Arduino language, meant to be super fast. It'll be aimed at Arduino power users and advanced software devs starting with hardware. What would you like to see in a framework like this? An event handler system to make it event driven? A system for "multithreading?" A system for debugging? What don't you wan't to see in something like this?
