I hang out on AVRFreaks - an AVR and AVR32 support forum - quite a bit. I personally think C++ is the language of the devil but I'd say that around 50% of the people I talk to on 'freaks think otherwise. It's certainly the language of choice. There's also a surprising number (~5%?) using Java on a small JVM (eg JamVM) and about the same using Python. Of course a largish number don't really need to write any code at all. They just need to wire up existing programs to do what they want then maybe glue a bit of PHP between that and the user so it doesn't /look/ like Linux from the outside. --Ben. > > rday > --
