   Toit is a language for writing scripts on your computer and applications on your ESP32. A readable syntax, an efficient runtime, and tools that work together.

   Free and open source. Maintained by volunteers.

Even after reading that (and more of the homepage) I have no idea what this is.
harshreality•36m ago
The docs -> "get started" page explains it.
jacobgorm•46m ago
The people behind Toit are the original people behind the V8 VM in Chrome. They know their stuff.

They should write this prominently on their website. It doesn’t radiate trustworthiness/substance/reputation. Also performance and resource requirements should be prominent when targets are MCUs.

Also co-founding Dart. They definitely know their stuff.

Those were it's creators, are they still involved after the company folded?

Because if not, that might explain the lack of marketing around it.

Kasper and I are still working on it.

Here's a beginner tutorial for the language: https://docs.toit.io/language/toitversus

Nice syntax. It looks like how we'd design programming if C had never existed.

  add a/int b/int -> int:
    return a + b
  
  main:
    print (add 2 3)  // Prints 5.

The wikipedia page https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toit is short but still gives a lot of context.

Just a joking side note: switch n to t in the URL and you get article for food in Estonian: https://et.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toit
