Clang/LLVM now supports small chips like the attiny10! They are even more limited than regular AVR chips and use half the registers for example, but with https://reviews.llvm.org/D131867 merged it won't (usually) generate incorrect instructions.

If you don't know, the attiny10 has 1kB program storage, 32 bytes (!) of RAM, and is about the size of a grain of rice. It has only 3-4 GPIO pins.

@marcan@treehouse.systems I should add that good diffing tools will show which parts are actual changes and which are just indentation changes. Phabricator does this really well, see for example: https://reviews.llvm.org/D140573 (use side-by-side diff for best results). Use the right tool for the job! The default git diff just isn't that good.

I've actually done most of the groundwork for precise GC over a year ago: https://github.com/tinygo-org/tinygo/pull/2001 This adds object layout information to allocations (pointer/non-pointer information) but doesn't use it at runtime yet. It was needed for an unrelated issue but I wrote it in such a way that a precise GC could be implemented on top of it.

I've been trying to convince NetworkManager that it should only use 5GHz but haven't been successful so far.

Found the issue: apparently iwd (or the iwd backend of NetworkManager) doesn't support picking a particular AP BSSID. Switched to wpa_supplicant and it works now.

@curtmack interesting, I didn't know about that! It doesn't do exactly the same thing though: it hides the whitespace entirely instead of displaying only the relevant parts like Phabricator does. Still good to know though.
