The wikipedia page https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toit is short but still gives a lot of context.

  >In February 2019, the company raised DKK 23 million (approximately US$3.5 million) in seed funding from Swedish venture capital firm Creandum.[4] Early versions required cloud registration to deploy code to devices.[5]
  DNS blackhole the domain and run.

   Toit is a language for writing scripts on your computer and applications on your ESP32. A readable syntax, an efficient runtime, and tools that work together.

   Free and open source. Maintained by volunteers.

Even after reading that (and more of the homepage) I have no idea what this is.

Here's a beginner tutorial for the language: https://docs.toit.io/language/toitversus
Nice syntax. It looks like how we'd design programming if C had never existed.
```
  add a/int b/int -> int:
    return a + b
  
  main:
    print (add 2 3)  // Prints 5.
```

  Because if not, that might explain the lack of marketing around it.
