Yeah, part of the problem is bias of computer scientists, which I've also seen on SV-centric communities like HN. A while back there was a complaint that CAN communication should be explained as it's "too obscure". So much obscure tech is talked about on this site without explanation. I think most of the developers on this site don't understand the wide world of embedded systems. C is a high-level language. It has a weird clunky elegance of it's own. Once you leave the world of servers and natively built apps on an OS, things get really complicated. Just go on Digikey, Mouser or whatever is big now and see how many processers are out there.
