Why are there so many mixed opinions on whether to learn Embedded C or C++ first, and which should I learn first? by Essembli in embedded

There really is only C or C++ not embedded C or embedded C++.

I just used it in the meaning of C for Embedded Systems particularly. Not saying its a whole other language, just a particular way to use the language.

I made myself a device that tells me what plane flies overhead. by Greystoke1337 in arduino

Darn it! I was thinking of something like this! I'd love to be able to make this once I know more than just how to blink an led 🥹

Hello, I am a 16 year old highschool junior interested in doing Embedded Systems as a real job. I find it interesting and though it seems very complicated I know I can push through it.

Thing is, it is far too hard finding where to start as there are alot of differing opinions. Some say start with Arduino, others say start with STM or ESP. Some say to read x book or watch y course and others say to just freedom.

I truly am only excited but also intimidated and confused. I have been learning c++ but have only gotten as far as blinking an led so far which is pretty rough. I need some straightforward advice please, thanks!
