It's a really great concept, and the embedded world is crying out for more solutions like this.
However, I'd be very, very hesitant to develop anything significant on this platform. At the very least I'd want to have a. the tooling to run unit tests / simulations of my programs on the PC before deploying and b. a clear migration path for if they went bust.
Their value add is the infrastructure around deployment, so why is their language closed source?
I really like the Balena.io approach - the whole platform is open, so if they do go bust you could run it yourself, but they provide real value in running the infrastructure - so it makes loads of sense to pay them.
