title: 'parallel languages for embedded control'
weight: 20
---

We need usable, expressive languages to support programmers in safely handling the multitude of inputs and outputs of embedded systems. The tools we build in this space are freely available online at concurrency.cc.

My work on novice programmers informs our work on the design and implementation of usable tools for beginners. Fortunately for us, in the realm of parallel languages, the vast majority of programmers are novices.
