    Slightly OT (but maybe not, as the article is about running strange things on the EV3): The EV3 is an incredible platform. I worked a bit (and am currently writing part of my PhD about it) on declarative Programming on EV3.

    You can find Prolog-bindings provided by me on the EV3Dev website, which are about as fast as the JS bindings and make for quite a fun weekend, combining declarative planning and plan execution in the same language. You can find my paper on that here: https://dx.doi.org/10.18420/inf2019_ws41

    And if you have a lot of spare time on your hand, you can get both HUGS (a Haskell implementation) and PureScript (using the JS bindings) running on the EV3. What you should not do, is try to run clojure, as the runtime is too massive. You can try other JVM languages, but I would suggest you don't.

    I can't even get bird running on Raspberry Pi and this person has it working on Legos? I give up.

    So would it be possible to create an API to be able to control your robot from the web?
