Unless you are doing firmware where all those constraints are still around, and you have to deal with whatever compiler the vendor supplies for their microcontroller, which will almost certainly be some variant of C.

Thankfully there are vendors that still bother to sell Basic, Pascal compilers for tiny microcontrollers.

But yeah doing so is being a special snowflake, still they are in business to this day.
