This has become one of those “classic” articles. Worth a read if you haven’t. The bits about exceptions reminded me of an article on Nim‘s “goto” exceptions implementation [1]. The implementation appears to be a combo of error codes and goto’s to automatically propagate the exception. It performs well and works on embedded devices, although I’ve only done a smaller project in Nim on an Arduino based board. It’s odd having a serial port print stack traces. Careful a slow serial line can lead to a slow printout though! Nim with the new ARC GC and move semantics seems to make a nice language for embedded development or for creating re-useable libraries. Rust seems promising but so much embedded work is still C/C++ only at some level, while Nim compiles to C/C++ nicely. 1: https://nim-lang.org/araq/gotobased_exceptions.html https://nim-lang.org/araq/gotobased_exceptions.html
