What languages can I use with the esp32?
8 projects | /r/esp32 | 28 Aug 2022

You can run LUA on the ESP32. It's strongly associated with "NodeMCU" which was the name of an ESP8266 board that it originally ran on. At this point "NodeMCU" is mostly word salad and gets applied generically to so many ESP8266 and ESP32 boards that it's virtually meaningless, but the LUA firmware is well supported and works.
File Transfer using Bluetooth Classic, ESP32, SD SPI, and Android
