These systems have the resources to run managed runtimes. I’ve shipped embedded software running .NET core 2.2 on ARM Linux (RK3288 with custom set of peripherals), only a minor part of the software being unsafe (a shared library written in C++).
Over the last 20 years, desktop GUI software, web servers, and mobile software migrated from C++ towards managed languages, and they never looked back. I’m pretty sure the majority of embedded software gonna follow the same path.
