Like I wanted to compile a javascript browser in Nim but the compiler gobbled all the RAM!
But you can get _some_ to work, and that is worth it for someone who wants a cheap eink Linux PDA.

As I say, you have to find somebody who shares your fun
And I don't know if there is a lot of market for those PDA. I still have the russian phone which has a LCD (or whatever) screen and an eink screen. You could run almost all the apps in the eink screen, but not very useful in that screen.
