I just got a Pico W to run Forth on. It's like a REPL for low level hardware, and I'm unreasonably excited to play with it this weekend.

Somehow I've gone 36 years without anyone telling me I could do explorative programming on bare metal, and now I can't shut up about it.

yea forth is amazing for that, i used to develop a lot of baseline or "test everything in the beard spin" type if firmwares in forth and miss it
