Why MCU-bound application logic are simpler than PC apps? If that is the case, we shouldn't have seen improvement in embedded MCUs in 20 years, yet every year the clocks are increasing, the flash/RAM size is doubling, ...
I have a theory/fear that in future, the line between embedded-dev and web-dev would be blurred...
- baybal2 6y agoGiven how eagerly all those GCP/AWS/AZUR "IOT frameworks" run out of memory on the most beefy microcontrollers a mortal can buy, I'm afraid, you are right.
- petra 6y agoAs long as mcu's with less ram/flash will be sold for less(which is standard business strategy to optimize revenue), in high volume designs people will use c/c++ to optimize. As for low volume designs, if reliability is important, rust would be a good candidate.
