I guess Moore's law allowing web developers to migrate to embedded space. In India, POS devices are Android, the de facto OS and huge talent pool. As full PCs native apps which drive dot matrix printers die, micro PCs and Androids with thermal printers which can print HTML take their place.

I'm definitely not an expert on embedded development but I'd think C/C++ are predominant in the area.
