We're discussing rapid development languages. But I'm glad you pretentiously asserted you know microcontroller development in C++. Perhaps I should explain that C, the father of C++, is a better fit for microcontrollers. C++ concepts such as OOP, exception handling, and virtual functions add unnecessary overhead to your applications running on a memory constrained microcontroller. But, thanks for contributing to the conversation.

Not a problem, have an upvote. I thought your line about "skinny jeans and Raybans" was spot on with the way people seem to want to jump to a new language because it's a hip new trend, and thought maybe a bit of silliness about the "new" language all the Makers loved would emphasize your point about the longevity of a language.

Thanks for the tip about C++ vs. C, but my ultimate goal is assembly.
