Python, C / C ++, JavaScript or Java? What is the best language for your embedded GUI?

Choosing the programming language to be used in your embedded GUI is a decision that depends on several factors.

In general, you should look for languages ​​that developers are familiar with, in order to spend less time learning new technology.

Also, the language must be suitable for the project objectives. High-level languages ​​- such as Python and JavaScript - tend to be easier to use and have more components available, which reduces time-to-market..

Low-level languages ​​- like C - require a little more work related to memory. However, it ensures high performance.

Some intermediate languages ​​like C#, Java and Kotlin also bring frameworks that try to balance the best of both worlds: fast to development and low footprint and, therefore, high performance.

In this session we will discuss use cases of GUI implementation for Linux Embedded and analyze the possibilities of languages ​​to be used.

Main topics:
- Pros and cons of the most used languages ​in GUI embedded development
- Find out how to decide which language to use based in your project requirements
- How new frameworks decrease development complexity while maintaining high performance and low footprint
