It is time to power off my tiny RPi zero Xmas tree, sharing the moment with you guys
You can get much better performance by coding a library from scratch I suppose. I heard pigpio in NodeJS would allow that but I never tried myself.

Qwik & Arduino with Johnny Five
• Johnny Five Get Started • Johnny Five Examples
Some times ago I have played with johnny-five, a JavaScript Robotics & IoT platform. In short words, we can communicate with our Arduino or Raspberry by using JavaScript with a very friendly syntax.

Dockerize Javascript IOT Applications
The library Johnny-Five is a Javascript library that allows you to control Arduino and other microcontrollers using Javascript. It is very easy to use and it has a lot of examples that you can use to learn how to use it.
- Arduino to PC Serial Protocol Library

From Wi-Fi to Li-Fi, sending data via light using Arduino and JavaScript
I decided to use the Johnny-Five JavaScript framework for this. After installing it , I started by declaring a few variables and instantiating the transmitter board.

Firmata on ESP32 (WROOM)
I am trying to put Firmata on ESP32 and connect it to the johnny-five lib (or any other JS client). I managed to put official Firmata and other forks related to ESP32, but it doesn't work (build+upload succeed), but I'm getting "ready" from the device.

Did you look into rust and decide not to go with it?
They'd probably like to use this project too then

I built some custom macro buttons using an Arduino Micro
I use the Johnny-Five JS library to connect to the board http://johnny-five.io/ and use RobotJS https://www.npmjs.com/package/robotjs to map the buttons on the board to keyboard buttons. Currently I just have it set up to map to audio buttons so I can prev/next/pause/play Spotify/Youtube or turn the OS volume up.
- That's a great suggestion.
