I mean, is Julia available as a programming language for some hardware development, such as microcontroller unit or single chip microcomputer?

Check out @sukera’s JuliaCon talk from this year: [Running Julia code baremetal on an Arduino :: JuliaCon 2023 :: pretalx](https://pretalx.com/juliacon2023/talk/K3DPHH/)

(It’s also worth pointing out who one of the sponsors was for JuliaCon this year 😉 )

Yeah, the talk is the most up-to-date public information about this. I wouldn’t dare to claim that Julia supports this (as for why, watch the talk 😉 ), but at the same time there is a definite path forward. I’m actively working on new stuff that hasn’t made it into the talk, so in some sense, the talk is already out of date, but as I said at JuliaCon - 30 minutes just isn’t enough time 😂

I think the future is quite bright though 🙂

I know ASML and at least one analog computing startup (Anabrid) use Julia, but I’m not sure how widely used it is in that field in general.
