I wasn't the one making an universal truth out of it.

"Their libraries are written in/for C"




The statement you quoted is true of both of the examples you gave.

Also, you've deliberately chosen a specific interpretation of my statement in order to manufacture an argument that doesn't exist. You should probably avoid doing that in the future.


It is not, because they use C++.

I avoid whatever I feel like.


Atmel and Xtensa have libraries in C.

It's almost like I have some domain knowledge that you don't. Imagine coming in here with examples that aren't even microcontrollers as if that "debunks" what I said above. Like somehow magically I can just switch to a whole different platform. No problem, just crank out a new board spin and swap my whole toolchain over so I can... what... use a non-standard version of C in the arduino IDE for production code? If you think THAT'S a viable option, you've lost your mind.

Why continue to double down when you clearly have no idea what you're talking about?

> I avoid whatever I feel like.

You should "feel like" avoiding inventing arguments that hinge on misinterpretations of other people's statements. The fact that you don't makes you a problem.

Meanwhile, I can't avoid C even if I "feel like it"... because I write code for microcontrollers... which have libraries that are written in and for C.


"1. Yes they are microcontrollers.

2. Yes they use C/C++"

So how it is?


The things you mentioned aren't both microcontrollers, and they use C.

Why continue to double down when you clearly have no idea what you're talking about?


So are you taking back the original answer?

Those are not my words.


No.
