It's important for context.

At least some C code will probably be run on practically all of these devices. As I gather it, they run embedded Linux, then a user program written in any language (C, C++, Python, even MiniBasic). But exactly
where they will find their niche I don't know. When microcomputers 
first came out, everyone said you'd use them for controlling the central
heating (way too cumbersome), or for educational use (there were a few
good educational programs, but basically the machines were too limited),
in fact they were used for playing video games.

These cards will likely be similar. There will be a niche for them.
