#Tessel is programmed in JavaScript.
##JavaScript
Tessel is programmed in JavaScript, which automatically compiles to Lua when you run code on Tessel.
Tessel aims for full JavaScript compatibility, with the exception of eval(). If you run into compilation error, please file an issue on our GitHub repo.
Documentation for the JavaScript programming language can be found here.
##Node Tessel is currently compatible with the most common and applicable core Node libraries. Most non-core libraries should also work however we don't yet support libraries with binary dependencies. If your module is not working, please file an issue! Greater Node compatibility is an area of active development.
Node library support is prioritized by which libraries are most relevant to Tessel usage. The target Node version is latest Node master.
Documentation for Node can be found here.
