I never learned any C based languages, so it's been a challenge, but I've enjoyed learning the basics of bare-metal no_std rust on the esp32c3, with esp-rs and its support for embassy to help me get started!

My learning project -- using mqtt for HomeAssistant integration: <https://github.com/n8henrie/esp32c3-rust-mqtt>

I know bare metal programming is a learning exercise but i can say for 99% of use cases esphome is awesome. I just finished making a cat feeder a esphome smart device

Yes, I have several esphome devices. Very easy to use. Unfortunately the project is not written in a language that I know, and I strongly prefer projects in languages that are familiar to me.
