For Embedded Systems, Code is more often than not written in C or C++, however a variety of high-level programming languages, such as Python and JavaScript, are now also in common use to target microcontrollers used in embedded systems. Python can definitely be used at a higher abstraction layer in an Embedded System development. At system level, C and C++ may continue to stand out. Usually, Python scripts can put the system into different states, set configurations, and test all sorts of real-world use cases. Python can also be used to receive embedded system data that can be stored for analysis. Programmers can then use Python to develop parameters and other methods of analysing that data. Test engineers can accelerate their workflow by automating their test plans. Python, integrated with other programming languages, helps test engineers began to automate their tests more quickly.
Python has industrial-grade strength because its design always favours one right way to get a job done. Development can scale thanks to meaningful syntax, good structure, modularity, and a rich ecosystem of tools and packages. Command line versatility enables it to fit into any tool or workflow. On the flip side, Python’s major downside is its overall performance. As an interpreted language, Python will always be slower than a compiled language like C and C++.
