Rust is much easier to use on RISC-V [1] than on ESP32 [2]. I'm looking forward to making some small projects with this chip, assuming the software is usable.

Eicks! 10GB of disk space and 6GB+ RAM for the compiler? That’s seems crazy. No compiling that on most RPi’s. Maybe the cranelift project will help over time.

  That's for compiling the compiler.

    Specifically a compiler fork that needs to be locally compiled, AFAICT. It's doable on most developer's machines nowadays, but not all. Many laptops still only have 4GB of RAM.
