Wait what?

How is catching bugs at runtime and dynamically typed language related?

In fact I've had (a lot) better experience debugging mpy apps than Arduino ones (that's the only low level embedded experience I have)

I mostly just let stuff fail, and have them restart gracefully (like the erlang guys)

Now you're just trolling.

Do yourself a favour and learn your craft instead of trotting out obviously wrong statements to people who know better. Thats not a way to make a good impression.

Oh yes, regarding Erlang, trust me, I'm aware of 'let-it-fail' and have implemented it production on large distributed systems and trust me... that does not justify writing embedded s/w in a dynamically-typed language.

I'm serious.

The "let it fail" strategy is quite useful
