A recent tweet that I found funny - "Every time a conf organizer accepts a talk about #IoT using JavaScript ... somewhere in the world an IoT/embedded developer ... dies !"[1].
On a serious note though - Does anyone know a mass manufactured product (based on a uController) that actually uses anything other than C/C++?
Rust is a strong contender too, surprised to not see it mentioned here. See an older discussion about Rust on ARM Cortex M[2]

None that I know of, but ESP8266 and similar MCUs are so widespread that probably there are lots of products using say nodemcu (ESP+Lua scripting) under the hood. http://nodemcu.com/index_en.html http://nodemcu.com/index_en.html Wifimcu is a similar product but uses a STM32F4 MCU. http://www.wifimcu.com/ http://www.wifimcu.com/ I would personally love to see more use of Nim in this field; it just seem the right tool for the job for being easy to learn, small, fast and powerful.
