    Just want to shout out to tinygo, for this old Go programmer, it makes working with ESP and friends loads of fun.

    Admittedly, reverse engineering a single digit 7-segment LED display wasn’t the best use of my time, but by crikey it was fun.

    A Raspberry Pi Pico W is a microcontroller (no operating system) that incorporates Wifi. The way it works is you write a program that runs in a loop and talks to the GPIO ports or whatever. It's incredibly simple and it all runs from flash, so no operating system or anything else needed.

    I like using TinyGo with these kind of boards so I get concurrency as well, although sadly the Pico W doesn't have Tinygo support yet. With the W versions, once you're connected to WiFi you can poll APIs and do anything else you do on the internet. No OS required!

    As an example of a whole, stand-alone program, I wrote a digital clock in TinyGo. https://github.com/doctor-eval/clocky - sadly it can't (yet) connect to the internet so it's running on a pre-W Pico.
