I really love time restricted environments, in my opinion they truly liberate programmers: instead of using language/library/tech/pattern/etc-of-choice they suddenly realize "oh, we don't have time for that". Do we need GC? We don't have time for that. Do we need to allocate memory? We don't have time for that. Can we maybe do this enterprise-like tens thousands source code files OOP hierarchy thing? We don't have time for that.

Realtime forces people write less, writing only what actually matters, and all this in my opinion helps people to be better engineers (in-a-way). I just wish it looked more attractable for people - hacking your way out in time/resources constrained systems (like MCU's for example) can be as fun as hacking html/js to make your site behave as you want.
