    I’m supporting embedded devices, and I like the performance of C. I’ve used python, it’s meh. At least you don’t have to compile it.

      Aha on embedded not much choice there. It’s what keeps C alive and relevant for sure

        Rust is starting to show up in embedded. And micropython, though that obviously has some limitations.

          Totally, but I’m not aware of anyone using either properly in a truly production environment. Both are more on the hobbyist or tinkering side, or in the Linux space anyway where you can already just do anything.

          (From what I’ve seen? Would be thrilled to see examples!)

          I really like Micropython too. I made a “game” that communicates state between multiple boards over wifi in almost no time compared to how long it would take in C++.
