Debunking Common Myths about C++

Writing software for microcontrollers and embedded systems is challenging. In order to get the most out of resource-constrained systems, embedded developers need to have a good knowledge of platform architecture. They need to be aware of available resources, including processor capabilities, available memory, and peripherals. The need to have direct access to hardware through memory-mapped peripherals has made C the language of choice for embedded systems for half a century.

The goal of any programming language is to carry out the process of converting application-specific abstractions into code that can be transformed into machine code. For instance, Common Business-Oriented Language (COBOL) is used for banking applications, and Fortran is used for scientific research and heavy mathematic calculations. C is, on the other hand, a general-purpose programming language commonly used in operating systems (OSs) and embedded system applications.
