  • Toit – A Language Designed for Microcontrollers

    As long as Toit is licensed under the GNU Lesser General Public License v2.1, I am unlikely to consider using it. By contrast, MicroPython is licensed under the MIT License (MIT).

    As others have noted, Toit seems like a bad name. I suppose non-French speakers will tend to inadvertently mispronounce Toit.

    Getting traction is hard. In my opinion, having a restrictive license and a bad name make it less likely Toit will gain traction. Finally, Toit licensing reminds me of Mongoose OS https://github.com/cesanta/mongoose-os#mongoose-os---an-iot-....
