Haha. no, just no.

I can't speak for other embedded developers, but I hate C, it's just usually the only option for small devices.

The 'maker' movement and it's relentless movement towards bigger and bigger ARM based systems has opened that up a little, thankfully; you can now find plenty of SBCs that offer 1GB+, and that means any language is an option (at least if it has a pausable gc).
