       | actually in the Espressif's examples for it [1]. Apparently there
       | are web server projects for it around [2], too; would be rather
       | surprising if the first such website appeared only recently.
       | 
       | Edit: though maybe ESP32 SoCs with RISC-V processors aren't that
       | common among those other ESP32 ones.

       | From the handful of RISC-V posts on HN over the years I'm
       | surprised to learn that RISC-V is still so nascent--to the point
       | that simply hosting a webpage on top of it is bleeding edge.
       | 
       | Is it being used for anything yet or is it mostly still in early
       | development? Excuse my naivety, still excited for the tech. Great
       | to see this progress regardless.
       | 
       | Edit: and the song on the site, sounds like Dominican Bachata,
       | like Anthony Santos or something.

         | There are at least a 16 RISC-V devices in my home right now in
         | the form of ESP32-C3s powering smart bulbs, outlets, and light
         | switches. The geek hype train is all about RISC-V taking on
         | general-purpose computing but they've been quietly displacing
         | Cortex-M0, Xtensa LX, etc in devices with fairly low
         | computational needs.
