Embedded programming is much more stable wrt languages and (often non-existent) frameworks. Nice for C/C++ devs.

- sgt101 11y agoI worked as a C and then C++ dev for a few years and then I started a Ph.D writing a C++ code base. I remember the day that I got java 0.7 running on my spark 20. I would never touch the STL again, never have to worry about malloc and #def overwrites. No more gdb. There's not much nice for c/c++ devs, pity them.
- tosseraccount 11y agoHow many java programs are running your desktop now? How many C/C++ programs?
- housel 11y agoEmbedded programming is also harder to do remotely due to needing hands-on access to development hardware, frequent access to hardware engineers, expensive test equipment, and so forth.
- vonmoltke 11y agoIt's also a silo that can be hard to get out of and is very hard to get into, because all you do is C or C++ work and everyone wants C or C++ experts for their jobs.
