- ncmncm 8y agoIt has to be C because so many embedded-system vendors are pathologically hostile to anything else. Most tolerate C only to try to win ports from other, typically end-of-lifed, targets, and resent it. A few have begun to embrace LLVM, and so don't care about the front-end language -- they still only say they support C, but turn out to not notice if you feed in IR from something else. Then it becomes a question of how badly your code needs the language runtime support code, or how good you are at porting it, because they will not pick up maintaining any of that under any circumstance. GC? Ha.
