I’m fairly annoyed with myself on my worse days for heading into embedded as a career path when Lisp (clojure mainly) is the only development process I’ve really ever felt fit my brain. I’m positive that there is a Lispy language out there (actually in existence, or the aether) that is appropriate for embedded work, but the constraints of the target make it difficult to envision.

I like C and assembly because they’re simple from a language semantics level but incidental complexity is nearly unavoidable. I’m not sure if I have undiagnosed ADHD like many here are wondering, but I do wish I could go back to living in a REPL without giving up the joy of working on real hardware at the register programming level.
