But if we are talking about embedded, we shouldn't be making comparisions with ReactJS then. Of course the latter is going to be easier to get into than embedded C++, but not because of JavaScript vs. C++.
I understand where you are coming from. But I don't think that webdev is easier just because it is. Embedded is not the rocket science some people claim it to be.
I believe there is a lot of room where we can improve and lower the barrier for entry.
For example better packaging system, better IDE support (CLion is already very good tbf), modernizing vendor api, improve documentation and testing solutions, compiler that actually throw meaningful errors and of course good learning material...
I know it is a lot to ask and I don't want to sound like a ungrateful child. There are a lot of people working their asses off for free and all that. But i think it is not wrong to point some of the problems we have.
