I don't think CBinding.jl is an option, since the whole point of the arduino is that the julia runtime can't run there (and doesn't fit in the first place - there's not enough RAM and swapping to the SD seems bad). Linking with C created .o files should work though?

I don't own any ESP32, but if that happens, yes I'd very much like to try!

I think CBinding.jl could be helpful if one wanted to write a target-specific shim library in C and link against it. I would expect that some of the glue is going to be easier to write in C than in Julia, and you can play some tricks with macros to create bare modules [1] within some kind of `@arduino_setup`/`@arduino_loop`-style blocks.

Edit: By the way, those target-specific shims might already exist as part of the Arduino IDE. PlatformIO [2] is also another possible collider of these types of platform-specific glues.

PlatformIO is nice, yes - I've already been suggested linking/using that, but I haven't looked into it yet. I also haven't worked with that before, so it'd be completely new territory for me.
