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

     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.

      The docs -> "get started" page explains it.

  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.

  Who is using this? The company originally behind it has shut down

  The people behind Toit are the original people behind the V8 VM in Chrome. They know their stuff.

    Those were it's creators, are they still involved after the company folded?

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

    Also co-founding Dart. They definitely know their stuff.

    They should write this prominently on their website. It doesn’t radiate trustworthiness/substance/reputation. Also performance and resource requirements should be prominent when targets are MCUs.
