A word of warning on this. It uses a custom fork of LLVM/Clang/Rust which adds support for a new architecture. The tooling that sets up this environment has failed in obscure ways each time I’ve attempted to set up and build one of their own hello world samples.
Support for the ESP8266 I had sitting in my desk drawer is a little rough, the code templates they provide don't seem to work out of the box. I gave up and am just buying an ESP32. Should be a much better experience, I'm hoping.
