A comment on Java 26 is here, and with it a solid foundation for the future. Parent comment
A classic one is C++. Microcontrollers like esp32 cost about $10 these days, for a machine more capable than an early PC.
One downside though is that you typically need C++ to program them, and the barrier to entry with C++ is very high, especially for non-programmers.
LLMs remove that barrier so that anyone can create powerful embedded devices - programmed in C++ - without knowing anything about C++.
