I think we should all meet there, give awesome talks and then have an interactive ask us anything / feature wish panel where people with lots of embedded experience but little meta programming skill can tell us what problems they have trouble solving due to lack of library support. > I wouldn’t consider myself knowledgeable enough for a panel in C++, especially when it comes to Metaprogramming and Standard library support. That language and library are so complex, they regularly baffle me. That doesn't really matter, we need some good talks to attract embedders who ask for things. I can only make STL suggestions for stuff that I know I need but there is still no doubt many things I have not thought of that others need. > > There are quite a lot of languages that work on embedded by now, with even more capable microcontrollers on the market. > Also consider the push for even smaller Cortex-A class embedded systems running Linux directly like Googles Brillo, or Amazons IoT platform. As long as no batteries are involved, the product is not highly price sensitive and no hard real time guarantees are needed these are perfectly acceptable. But that is by no means the whole market. > > It gets more and more difficult to justify C++’s language complexity in this context. > >>>> What do you guys think?
