Yes, I am planning on including the ability to program these chips, from within some commercial software I am writing.
The software is a robotics graphical programming environment designed for kids, (think like lego-mindstorms, but with arduino based robots) I've been working on it for a couple of years, and already have pcbs produced with the esp8266 chips on them, connected to an atmega328p, and motors with encoders etc...
I am in two minds about if i want the esp8266 to send commands to the atmega via serial and bitlash, or if i want the esp to download a hex file and then program the atmega, i think im leaning towards the first one for speed
