As long as the language can be broken down into predictable blocks of assembler, it's not a problem. Most of the issues one runs into with compiled languages has to do with the libraries used, not the language itself.

Real-time coding is a very specific discipline that is at best only obliquely comparable to the processes used by the rest of us mere mortals!

Which means you've been around and working at least as long as the processor. I wonder what the world would have been like if Jack Tramiel hadn't inadvertently scattered that team to the winds...
