@follower: that’s a good distinction; we’ll try to not be so loose with our wording/descriptions in future articles…but I can’t make any guarantees because we’re just amateurs and not experts.

Thanks,

Just a pedantic note, the Arduino doesn’t really use a “special C-esque programming language” it’s actually standard C/C++ but only a subset is documented in order to simplify getting started.

It also features a post-processor that removes the need for certain boilerplate, like function prototype declarations.
