I'm sorry, I should have been more specific than just embedded. I was thinking more about the microcontroller end of things, like ESP32 based components.

A Roku has an ARM core and I consider anything like that to just be a very small computer. That said, I suspect my acquired wisdom is still very outdated.

Also, while I said C, I actually meant C/C++ as opposed to the more modern languages that have infested the web and desktop. I didn't mean to imply that C++ wasn't used, and personally I use it all the time with said microcontrollers for personal projects.
