Hi guys, I'm looking at the ESP8266 myself for playing with. I'm getting confused with the array of toolchains/compilers/interpreters available - use with a VM or cygwin (or Windows ?) etc....... I really want to use the chip as a standalone, rather than in combination with another micro. Any thoughts on the best system? I'm reasonable conversant with Linux as well as Windows and think I'd probably need to use a "C style" compiler at some stage but also have some simple things to look at also so the interpreted way (lua?) may be OK at the start. Thoughts and recommendations welcome.
