Five recommendations are offered for selecting the right one: avoid dead or dying languages (like Assembly and LabVIEW), prefer object-oriented languages, use only standardized languages to minimize technical debt, balance runtime weight (e.g., MicroPython's 300–400KB interpreter vs. C/C++'s near-zero overhead), and ultimately choose what fits your team's actual needs. C++ is suggested as a strong default, while C is characterized as aging and Rust as not yet standardized enough for most commercial projects. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
