What is the simplest language to be used to program embedded systems?
If you want your future life as a programmer from embedded systems to be simple, then run to study C / C ++ which is the de facto standard language in an embedded system ecosystem. Even the “toy” system is embedded like an Arduino board entry using C / C ++ as the preferred language.
Most microcontroller systems (embedded) at the industrial/professional level use different variants of C / C ++. However, you can program the system which is embedded in a language that is simpler (I think …) like BASIC. BASIC (short for All-purpose Symbolic Instruction Code for beginners – see BASIC – Wikipedia) was introduced (in 1964) more than fifty years ago as (later) a simple common language for computer programming, compared to Fortran, Cobol, Algol, PL / 1, Lisp. Is there a family (?) Microcontroller called the BASIC Stamp.
The BASIC Stamp (BASIC Stamp – Wikipedia, BASIC Stamp 2 Microcontroller Module) uses PBASIC which is a simplified variation of the Basic programming language. You can see the user manual at http://www.me.umn.edu/courses/me. PBASIC is probably the simplest language at the beginner level (enthusiastic level) for microcontroller programming. However, don’t be fooled. The latest PBASIC manual has more than 500 pages that support the reality that PBASIC is a complete programming language.
So, IMHO BASIC is simpler, easier to learn, than C / C ++, but in the end, to work in embedded systems you need to know a lot about analog electronics, digital electronics, microcontroller architectures (registers, ALU, …) and thus not dependent on programming languages.
