What language or framework would you use to develop and test natively algorithms meant to be ported on an embedded hardware later?
I finally settled on python, and here is why:

I had no reason to limit myself to a specific language or framework. The target plateform was not specified, but I needed to have proof of concepts for the project, and quick.

I choose python because of its versatility, the profusion of libraries, the speed over other scientific calculation packages, and the scientific community.

And so far so good.
