I was pretty familiar with the intracities of real-time called iirc "guaranteed service" back when I worked at Symbian. That was a kernel written in dialect of C++. And I've written camera and video capture software for, among others, Android phones. So fairly general experience, I'd say. Still so much more to learn.
You, on the other hand Chris, keep calling out Rob, me and anyone else who thinks that PDP-11 is not a necessary requirement for the next decade's "system language" ;) What systems projects have you worked on then?
Indeed I used Oberon (both native and windows-hosted) for a few intense months back some summer in the 90s. I still have a fondness, perhaps rose-tinted by time, for Pascal languages.
I particularly remember when someone made an Oberon pcode VM browser plugin as a 'competitor' to the newfangled Java applets. I think it was caled Juice or something.
Interestingly Chrome NaCL is going in the same direction, distributing pcode (well, LLVM IR iirc) and doing final compilation on-target.
People write hard constrained trading software in Java e.g. http://mechanical-sympathy.blogspot.se/ Googling for java avonics has some hits too e.g. http://www.slideshare.net/keugbang/t-50-avionics-embedded-so...
