The fact that it fits in the 35T version with room to spare is pretty huge, especially since certain packages of the 35T start as low as $35 for a single chip, no MOQ.

I could see myself dropping one of these on a homemade project if I ever spend the time making a reliable reflow oven...

If you're happy that it fits in a 35T, you'll be ecstatic to learn that a single VexRiscv fits comfortably in a Cyclone II EP2C5 FPGA. :-)

It's hard to find an FPGA that's too small to fit one.

it runs on the 5k lut ice40up5k, e.g. as the default bootloader in fomu: https://www.crowdsupply.com/sutajio-kosagi/fomu

(the whole thing fits inside the usb-a port)
