Well, Switzerland is rich because they have our tax-money. They also do have a lot of high-tech, precision engineering industry, don't they? Japan is an interesting example - they have negative interest rates since a very long time. Ba

I have two very raw ideas about this slowly taking form in my brain. 1. Factories produce wealth. If you look at the nations doing good and the nations doing bad[1], factories, I think, make a difference. USA completely moved their means of

They could have payed roughly 500 people for 5 years with that money. Maybe one of them would have caught the bugs that led to their data breaches. They also could have bankrolled 10 or more start-ups with that cash. Hell, they could have s

Yes. TU Munich, TU Aachen and others are in no way worse than the US Universities. Degrees are respected internationally. Learn German, though. For master's courses you will find English classes at every University, but bachelor'

It's called Cython. I had a Python implementation of a sensor fusion algorithm as well as a C version of the same. Python was a staggering 135 times slower. I used Cython on it, typed a handful of variables and the result ran in the sa

Look out for ISBN 978-3-8007-4395-7 "Evaluation of MicroPython as Application Layer Programming Language on CubeSats" in the "ARCS 2017 Conference Proceedings" - paper should come out soon enough. I have a presentation u

Creating a _nice_ and _reliable_ API with _good_ documentation that is _native_ to the language - I do think so, yes. Also keep in mind that there would be a specific devboard to build a community around.

I do plan to make it a website, like a gitbook or something, but right now, I'm hammocking. Also don't expect much. I'm a Mechanical Engineer and it was a bit out of my league, so it didn't go very deep. The paper will h

True, the libraries are C. Compilers are often gcc. Like AVR has a gcc compiler and as you said some parts of C++ are implemented. For ARM there is also a gcc. I only have experience with AVR and ARM (STM) to be honest.

I recently finished my Master's Thesis on using anything other than C/C++ on microcontrollers. It's a mess. A couple of languages like Rust, D, etc. can be hacked on micros due to their compiler suite, but it is always messy.

My University provides a self-hosted GitLab (via the joint datacenter of the cities universities and research organisations) and it's really, really nice. I think you can't really ask your students to sign up to anything or use an

MicroPython also has an ESA sponsored port for their space hardened architecture and RTOS. And even more impressive, I'm writing my thesis about evaluating MicroPython for CubeSats.
