Depends on the scale of the project. If the project is small and using a tiny processor then assembly or C usually works. If doing something like an embedded Linux project then C or C++ is what I've used. Languages like AWK and Python I use when I have to do things like generate tables, massage data or re-format code.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>Jay S.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><div><div style='border:none;border-top:solid #B5C4DF 1.0pt;padding:3.0pt 0in 0in 0in'><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'>From:</span></b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'> Synth-diy [mailto:synth-diy-bounces@dropmix.xs4all.nl] <b>On Behalf Of </b>Chris Juried<br><b>Sent:</b> Sunday, February 28, 2016 12:46 PM<br><b>To:</b> Synth-diy DIY<br><b>Subject:</b> [sdiy] Programming Language of choice<o:p></o:p></span></p></div></div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><div><div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1456691302939_5926"><p class=MsoNormal style='background:white'><span style='font-size:8.0pt;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";color:black'>Hello all,<o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1456691302939_5947"><p class=MsoNormal style='background:white'><span style='font-size:8.0pt;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";color:black'><o:p> </o:p></span></p></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1456691302939_5928"><p class=MsoNormal style='background:white'><span style='font-size:8.0pt;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";color:black'>As I continue my endeavor into embedded systems, I was wondering what the groups' consensus is on the most prominent programming language for a beginner in the world of MCUs. From my experience with Atmel AVR series MCUs and the TI MSP family of MCUs, "C" has been quite the valuable programming language to continue learning. As I expand my knowledge base into the, much larger world of MCUs, what would be the most valuable language to start learning at this point?
