Right now not a lot of that goes on, but that's changing -- and fast.
- pjmlp 10y agoA good example would be the ESP-32, powerful enough to run MS-DOS (520 KB hurray!), dual core with extra modern peripherals. Which means every programming language we used to enjoy back in the day are possible to target such environment, assuming someone would bother to port them to it, that is.
