Thanks. I was genuinely curious. I’m surprised embedded still overwhelmingly demands C, but I’m guessing there’s a lot of inertia which you alluded to.

- pjmlp 5y agoMostly due to culture, there are hardly any chips without C++ compilers, and plenty of them have Basic and Pascal compilers available as well. This is something that can only be changed with new blood bringing a more open mindset.
- kahlonel 5y agoC++ has all the problems that come with C plus all of its own problems. Also, OOP is pointless.
- pjmlp 5y agoC++ != OOP, while C++ cannot fix flaws inherited from C, at least it can provide types with bounds checking, and data types with type driven invariants, something that C will never provide.
