“…The language was first publicly announced in 2015 and since then, most major web browsers have implemented support for the standard. Besides the Web, WebAssembly is independent of any specific hardware or languages and can run in a standalone Virtual Machine (VM) or in other environments such as Arduino [21]. A paper by Haas et al [22] formalizes the language and its type system, and explains the design rationale.…”

“…More recently, several alternatives have emerged to facilitate the programming of larger capacity devices like the Espressif family ESP8266 1 and ESP32. Some examples are WArduino [20] with a port of WebAssembly, NodeMCU [21] running e-Lua [22], MicroPython [23] with a subset of Python language, and Espruino [24] running JavaScript.…”

A large range of Internet of Things (IoT) applications use small embedded devices, combining a resource-constrained microcontroller (MCU) with a radio for wireless communication and, possibly, some sensor and actuators. Computational and memory limitations restrict the approach of creating different layers of abstractions used for conventional operating systems and libraries. The event-driven execution nature of these systems provides opportunities to save battery power, but at the cost of increasing programming complexity. A reactive programming language facilitates the development of event-driven systems in which tasks are associated with incoming events. The Terra system combines the use of ready-made, safe, components with a reactive scripting language, Céu-T. In this paper we present details of the Terra virtual machine, discussing its design for resource constrained devices. We describe how the virtual machine supports the synchronous reactive programming model of Céu-T, which triggers the execution of pending trails in response to external events, and how it implements the integration of the scripting language with specialized sets of components.

Learning to program is becoming an universally desired ability. Discovering better ways to teach programming and improving existing ones is essential to increase its accessibility. Presently, most teaching approaches focus on high-level languages and constructs to ease understanding. However, understanding problems seem to persist making the learning process slow and painful. Moreover, mental models developed by students present gaps and misunderstandings that limit their maximum achievable abilities. This paper presents a new approach to teach students bottom-up, starting from machine code and assembler programming. This approach has been tested on first-year university students in two consecutive years. Experimental groups attended a sixteen hours course the week before their first term at the university. Then their performance was comparatively measured against the control group through their marks on the introductory Programming 1 subject. Several potential confounding factors were
