@bonkers@nerdculture.de @henk@waag.social If only arduino's "build system" weren't a lovecraftian nightmare of header files, java tooling, custom compiler patches, and god knows what else. Practically every "alternative" involves having a copy of the arduino IDE on disk somewhere. I don't know if anyone over the last couple decades has had the wherewithal to try to re-implement the accursed thing.

@developing_agent@mastodon.social @henk@waag.social it could be something completely different, like Rust. I wrote my first rp2040 firmware in Rust, and it's a nice experience. Of course, at the cost of learning a new language.
