I have to admit, that C++ is still not the industry "Go-To" language for embedded. But if you apply modern C++ correctly, there is very few overhead compared to C and the software is much easier to maintain.
The performance of embedded MCU's are continuously rising over the years and that little overhead is buying development speed.
Not to mention smart pointers, templates and constexpr making my life easier.
The only real issue with C++ is, that as soon as you get into serious embedded applications, you have restrictions when it comes to heap usage e.g. in medical devices using the heap is forbidden. So you cant use the STL.
There is a promising embedded STL project, but it's not there yet: https://www.etlcpp.com
