I agree that the author seems to be conflating front-end development with web design, two different fields requiring two different skillsets.

I haven't tried MicroPython, but I'd love to check it out. I've been recently seduced by Elixir, so I'm looking into Nerves[1] at the moment. [1] http://nerves-project.org/

I've been brushing up on Python (and Elixir!) to make myself more well-rounded as a software engineer, not just an embedded engineer. However I stand by my point that many "embedded" domains are served just fine by a Linux de

Not well defined, but to me embedded just means the device is not a PC or a server. Could be a microcontroller running bare-metal code or an RTOS with application code. Could be a device like you describe above which, in some cases, resembl

I think an important point in the context of Python (and other languages) vs. C/C++ is the proliferation of cheap hardware capable of running Linux. The relatively new phenomenon of a $10 Linux device makes it an attractive option in m

Thanks for the reply! I've heard that motto before and didn't understand it until now. Makes perfect sense. To your point about making Haskell easier for newbies without impacting the core values... Rust is a great example of that

Good to see that the Haskell community is looking for ways to be more accessible to newcomers. I'm not very familiar with Haskell, but I have long heard that the Haskell community wasn't interested in popularity. Has there been a
