The [`dev-esp32`](https://github.com/nodemcu/nodemcu-firmware/tree/dev-esp32) branch targets the ESP32. + ## Programming Model The NodeMCU programming model is similar to that of [Node.js](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Node.js), only in Lua. It is asynchronous and event-driven. Many functions, therefore, have parameters for callback functions. To give you an idea what a NodeMCU program looks like study the short snippets below. For more extensive examples have a look at the [`/lua_examples`](https://github.com/nodemcu/nodemcu-firmware/tree/release/lua_examples) folder in the repository on GitHub.
