    Program your microcontrollers in a fast and robust high-level language.

  • We use it for some of our tools, so it's possible (and works nicely). Our LSP server was initially written in Toit: https://github.com/toitlang/toit/tree/master/tools/lsp/serve...

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.
