But I&rsquo;ve never gotten into, like, actually getting a chip and, like, soldering it and whatever.</p> </blockquote> <p>Jonathan (my co-host) was very encouraging:</p> <blockquote> <p>Jonathan Hall: 19:46</p> <p>It&rsquo;s good that you asked that because one of the big features of this release of TinyGo is more ESP32 support. [&hellip;] we&rsquo;ll have Ron talk about this next week.</p>
