Nice.
Here's another worked example of a less adventurous pi pico (W) project I did recently. It's C, built with Nix, and doesn't require setting up all the hardware-debugger stuff (it uses the much simpler hold-bootsel-while-plugging-in and copy-the-.uf2-file mechanism to load code). The 5th commit is the simple blink example from the SDK with all the build mechanisms figured out.
super cool! does the build and everything. Mine's just the dev environment for now. I'll keep this project in mind especially if I end up wanting to switch to C for some reason.
