They all run Linux, and I believe people are already working on porting Swift to run on those. C.H.I.P. costs $9, and I saw a blurb somewhere about a competitor that’s only $5.

Well, that doesn't work for custom hardware, and importantly, I don't want to run Linux. It's very hard to make a fast-booting device with Linux.
