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.

i remember sitting in a room (i think it was in Columbus, OH) in 2017 where we wrote “embedded” “wasm“ “network services” on a whiteboard. truly unreal to see something succeed so much

yep. it blows my goddamn mind sometimes. and like, for the many flaws of rust and the missteps, it's just gonna get better at this, i think.
