It's been seven years since I've programmed on embedded systems. I remember C ruling the day. Has that changed at all?

- CamperBob2 10y agoNope. Not in the least.
- boznz 10y agoC++ has gained a bit of ground recently but C still rules the roost especially on smaller micros
- pjmlp 10y agoTo add to it, this was the issue of a few CppCon talks, namely how to bring C devs to write safer code.
- pjmlp 10y agoThere are Ada, Basic, Pascal, Oberon, C++ and Java options available, but C still takes the biggest market share.
- milesrout 10y agoNot at all.
- hvasilev 10y agoC is like a "portable assembly", its goal is to "abstract computers" and that is all. The languages that have attempted to replace it are trying to "abstract problems", which comes at a cost that people are not willing to pay. If you want to replace C you either need to come with a better "portable assembly" or have a significant change in the hardware architecture that requires the change. BTW this constant shoving of Rust down the embedded world's throat doesn't seem to be working.
