Using Python In Embedded Applications - a presentation by Chris Ramstad, Joe Miguel, and Stephen West of CyanOptic.

Python is a high level dynamic programming language with a large selection of built-in and third party libraries. It has become a mature and well tested language over the last 17 years. Traditionally, Python has not been considered as a primary tool for implementation of core functionality on an embedded product. It is often either not considered because it is a 'scripting language' or rejected due to concern about poor performance. However, given the ever growing complexity of software requirements, pressure to shorten time to market, and the continual drop of cost in computing power, leveraging Python makes more sense. Python can now be considered as a viable alternative to C/C++/java in many high performance embedded applications.

The presentation will be at noon in Salazar 2016.
