As an example, here's the driver for small TFT screens of the type that is built into the M5Stack. This is an SPI-attached device: https://github.com/toitware/toit-color-tft/blob/main/src/col...
If you just have an M5Stack Core2 and want to play with it, then you don't need to write a new driver though. Probably you want the examples from this package: https://pkg.toit.io/package/github.com%2Ftoitware%2Ftoit-m5s...
(The implementation of that package in the src directory is an example of using an I2C peripheral.)

Toit is optionally typed, and supports type annotations.
Type annotations for locals, fields, and globals are written with a trailing `/Type`. Return types are written with `-> ReturnType`.
See https://github.com/toitware/toit-lsm303dlhc/blob/main/src/ac... for a file I recently edited.
When a type annotation is written, the compiler enforces it. It uses it for static optimizations, and dynamically checks that the type is correct.
When a type can be null, it has to be suffixed by `?`.

Is it possible to compile the code at https://github.com/toitlang/toit to run on a desktop? Are there instructions on how to make such a build?

> dynamically checks that the type is correct
How thorough is this? Beartype is also on the front page now, and its README contains an example of dynamic type checking that takes over an hour to run [0]. How does Toit avoid being that slow?

Nothing about the entire ecosystem I was talking about. But my initial work on the keyboard firmware can be found here: https://github.com/PMunch/badger/tree/final. There are many different projects in Nim running on microcontrollers though, but not something on a common ecosystem.
HHL?

I agree, but I saw the defense that Toit wasn't just for ESP32. I have been playing with ESP chips since first tinkering with them over 8 years ago. C is fine when you're that small, Lua or even ulisp [1], forth, etc. Why Toit? Bowery Farming uses Elixir Nerves for their network of small interconnected devices to run their vertical, indoor farming operations, and I think others are looking to shrink it.

skybison
Discontinued Instagram's experimental performance oriented greenfield implementation of Python.
The codebases have very similar naming patterns and structures that mean that once you've read one, the others are much easier to understand. Check out, for example, Dart's VM. Or https://github.com/facebookexperimental/skybison
