  • Embedded systems developer here. If you’re programming on ARM or one of the other big microcontrollers there aren’t many well supported options. ARM’s official Keil compiler and libraries are C and C++ and I see no official movement to change that.

    They have literally decades in building those tools.

    Microsoft’s multithreaded OS ThreadX is C code. They just bought it for a large undisclosed amount in 2018. It ain’t going anywhere soon.

    AWS’s FreeRTOS is C. Not going anywhere.

    Embedded development toolchains are very slow to change.
