</div>Hi Mohit,<br>
<br>
This is an old debate, which by the way extends to the whole embedded realm,<br>
not only to Linux. The best way to get an acceptable answer and understanding<br>
to your question is to do some work by yourself.<br>
<br>
Start by writing a very basic scheduler for some embedded platform. You may use<br>
even your PC for this. Consider two tasks, one writing "A" and the other "B" to<br>
the console. Read "Just for Fun: The Story of an Accidental Revolutionary" by<br>
Linus Torvalds and David Diamond. Linus explains in grand detail how this can<br>
be done on your PC.<br>
<br>
Once you got it in "C" start again and write it in "C++" and why not in "Java".<br>
And when you done with all this exercise, please come back here and publish<br>
your code and conclusions. Everybody and especially you will have to learn<br>
from this experiment. At my knowledge it has not yet been done by anyone.<br>
<br>
You may bind and lead a team of volunteers willing to participate to this<br>
experiment. It will go faster. I really think this is the way to get a clearer<br>
idea<br>
about the best tools to write embedded software.<br>
<br>
Best luck in this endeavor,<br>
Stephan.<br>
