ESP-IDF tutorial series: Object oriented programming in C

This article explains how ESP-IDF brings object-oriented programming principles into C by using structs, opaque pointers, and handles to enforce encapsulation and modularity. It shows how components like HTTP servers and I²C buses are managed through handles that represent distinct objects for configuration and operation, and compares this approach to Python and C++.
