So many comments about using C, but I think the question may be a bit too broad to make a sweeping generalisation. IoT is such a broad term it's like saying 'what language should I use for a web-app?'. What are you expecting of your IoT projects? What sort of hardware are you thinking of running on? Is power usage a concern? Performance? What languages are you most comfortable with already? I don't have the answers for these, but knowing may help you figure out what to use. The truth is, these days you have so many options, it's a bit similar to asking what language to use for a web-app, and the decision may follow a similar path. Does anybody build web-apps in C anymore? If so, why?
