The future is always uncertain for us.   Embedded development usually
emphasizes on performance, unlike those of the desktop.   So which
language will be king tomorrow in embedded, it boils down to
performance + optimization + ease of development.   Just imagine:
from 10 lines of C reduced to 2 lines of XXX-based language software -
I think the 10 lines will scare off the embedded developers of
tomorrow.    I may be wrong :-).
