I started working as an embedded software developer in 2010 and graduated Electronic engineering in 2014. I worked in companies of all shapes and sizes, ranging from small startups to large enterprises, and solved a bunch of non-trivial engineering problems in the meantime. In my daily work I usually write in C, Bash and C++ but keep my head open to other topics.
Usage of JavaScript in constrained systems has raised many questions and controversies for C and Assembler-oriented engineers in the past, to say the least. In my talk I would like to analyze from the embedded system veteran's point of view what are the risks and benefits of using JavaScript as a language of choice in the environment where every bit of memory matters.
