Hello all, I have been following the recent clashes between various participants (see the post "Compiling differences between C51 v7.03 and v8.06" or "introducing the smoked sardine complex" :) :) ). C was given, I think, a unjustified bash in that post. I wouldn't like to have been compelled to explicitly cast too often. Most potentially dangerous casts can be filtered out by a static code analyzer. Can you give an example of more strongly-typed languages than C that are used in embedded development?
"I am a staunch believer that almost any programming language (except Cobol, maybe :) ), bestowed in the hands of a capable person, can get almost any job done!"
There's a well-known saying that a Real Programmer can write FORTRAN in any language...
;-)
There are groups of flat earth people on the 'Left' coast of the US that believe that Forth with objects is the only embedded typed language. If you don't like a data type just re-define it at run time ;-).
I had it with you! I'm going back to basics! That is, BASIC ;-)
