For Internet connected devices excluding an RTOS looks to be a foolhardy endeavor. The features provided in an RTOS provide developers with significant features such as task scheduling, stack maintenance, and hooks into TCP/IP stacks along with many other features that are just too time-consuming to develop from scratch. For a connected device at least an RTOS should be used to help ease the development and security burden. > > What about Forth? > > The other lessons are: > Lesson #2 - The importance of low power > Lesson #3 - Securing embedded systems > Lesson #4 - One language isn't enough > Lesson #5 - Plethora of protocols > Lesson #6 - Track optimization efforts > Lesson #7 - Rapid prototyping > > Six (or more) of these 7 Lessons can be covered by Forth. > Another chance to be taken or to be missed? > > Source: > http://www.edn.com/electronics-blogs/embedded-basics/4439406/7-Lessons-for-embedded-developers-from-ESC-Boston-2015 > Dunno about #4, unless you count a Forth assembler, but SwiftX (and its predecessors) all included an extremely small, fast RTOS, as well as the other issues.
