the wild thing is that while there's good reasons to not use one language across your entire software stack from bare metal microcontrollers to web front-end, the one language you can do this with and have it not be an objectively stupid choice is probably rust.

legit I use (micro)Python a fair bit for rapid prototyping on embedded, especially if I *know* for sure i am going to throw away the prototype or perf just does not matter one bit. if I think the prototype might become production I will often try and write it in rust.

How's swift at this? Haven't fucked about with embedded swift, but it seems to exist now. It's pretty close to objectively ctupid, tbf.

It's...okay. the problem is it's a lot heavier than embedded rust. but also is there any in-browser swift stuff? bc that's the icing on the cake for rust, that there's real libraries and frameworks that are usable *all* the way up and down the stack.
