Is Embedded Systems development ripe for a jump in productivity? 30' with Nerves Project
In a chat on the refactoring community somebody mentioned Nerves Project as an alternative to the reigning programming language (C) in embedded systems. I was at the airport with 30' to kill and decided to check it out and see how I could go in just half an hour. Turns out I managed to fully compile the hello_nerves project and stopped short of flashing the image to a rpi3 which I did not have with me. I find this pretty impressive, considering it's a fully-fleshed Linux-based system for half hour of work on a flaky internet connection.
