 		 #160757 - Which programming language is the best?
Today was a breeze in the office. We talked about the programming languages for microntrollers. And since this reason I want to ask you the question: if we look at the assembler code, basic operating principles, what are the differences between for example 8051 Pascal, C and Basic? The method of passing the parameters? Returnig results? And in your opinion, which programming language is the best for 8051 core?
I don't want to talk about code syntax, but look a litle deeper. Why Pascal died? Why we don't use the Pascal to create the code?
For me the reason is clear. For me a good programming language is the one, which is not restricting the creativity of the developer. So I choose C/C++. But is it the only one reason why C is so popular?

         fair question            01/01/70 00:00      
            Maybe            01/01/70 00:00      
               There is no question about it!            01/01/70 00:00      
                  Does it work ?            01/01/70 00:00

                  I agree with you there!            01/01/70 00:00

         That's the point!            01/01/70 00:00

         Comfort is not the issue!            01/01/70 00:00      
            true, but            01/01/70 00:00      
         It's about the right tool(s) for the job            01/01/70 00:00

            What is small?            01/01/70 00:00      
               Would that be appropriate on 805x?            01/01/70 00:00      
                  more on big/small series            01/01/70 00:00      
                     Does this approach fit 805x and other small MCU?            01/01/70 00:00      
                        Already have full Linux solutions too            01/01/70 00:00      
   Yes..C and asm is the best            01/01/70 00:00      
   I prefer KEIL U2V , C programming language.            01/01/70 00:00      
      Magic with Kel C?            01/01/70 00:00      
      Makes no sense!            01/01/70 00:00
