Learn Toit

Toit is an object-oriented, garbage-collected language for scripting on your computer and programming connected devices. You can use the same language for a command-line tool, a network service, or an application on a microcontroller.

Choose your starting point

The programmer's tour explains Toit directly; you do not need to know every language used for comparison. Familiar features are covered briefly, while Toit-specific concepts receive more explanation and examples.

The C/C++ introduction covers the language from a native programmer's starting point. The JavaScript and Python guides focus on differences from those languages. Use the comparison cheat sheet for side-by-side syntax lookup.

Look up a language feature

The language reference is organized by topic. It assumes you can already read a small Toit program; it is not a sequence of lessons. Use it for syntax rules, edge cases, and more detailed examples.

Find a topic

The topics from the earlier language introduction are now covered in the lessons and programmer's tour. These links also keep its section bookmarks useful.

Use Toit in a project

For a host script or command-line tool, save your program in a .toit file and run it with toit run. Use the package quick start to add dependencies.

For an ESP32 application, run on your device. The hardware and networking tutorials list their additional setup requirements.
