Computers need programming languages to function. That’s just a simple fact of life. However, these languages didn’t just spring up out of nowhere. They were developed by people for explicit purposes.

Computer programs can use data, evaluate if-then conditions on the data and use extremely fast iterative loops to perform these functions. In software programs, these functions get organized into ...

Overview: C and C++ remain the most important languages for fast, low-memory embedded devices. Newer languages like Rust and Python bring safety, simplicity, an ...
