Editing Embedded software (section)

==Operating systems==
Unlike standard computers that generally use an operating systems such as [[macOS]], [[Microsoft Windows|Windows]] or [[Linux]], embedded software may use no operating system. When they do use one, a wide variety of operating systems can be chosen from, typically a [[real-time operating system]]. Code for embedded software is typically written in [[C (programming language)|C]] or [[C++]], but various [[high-level programming languages]], such as [[C#]], [[Java (programming language)|Java]], [[Python (programming language)|Python]] and [[JavaScript]], are now also in common use to target microcontrollers and embedded systems.<ref>{{cite conference |title= Changing the programming paradigm for the embedded in the IoT domain |last1= Mazzei |first1= Daniele |last2= Montelisciani |first2= Gabriele |last3= Baldi |first3= Giacomo |last4= Fantoni |first4= Gualtiero |date= 2015 |publisher= IEEE |pages= 239–244 |conference=  Internet of Things (WF-IoT), 2015 IEEE 2nd World Forum on |location=Milan |doi= 10.1109/WF-IoT.2015.7389059}}</ref>  [[Assembly language]]s are often used too, especially in booting and [[interrupt]] handling. [[Ada (programming language)|Ada]] is used in some military and aviation projects.
