It’s great to see such a significant proportion of embedded developers working with C++20 already. This version extends compile-time abilities, which is very beneficial for industries with a lot of emphasis on runtime performance. I hope to see similar adoption rates for C++23 in the upcoming years.
Do you develop in C or C++?

This poll highlights a concerning trend in embedded development, where many developers continue to struggle with the outdated practices of managing third-party libraries. Embracing a declarative approach is crucial as it can not only alleviate this complexity but also significantly enhance the overall developer experience. This results in more efficient handling of multiple libraries, ultimately accelerating progress in the field of embedded software development.
