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?
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 ;-).
