1) Embedded programming today means freaking lot of environment 
from microchips to custom hardware server clusters :) Sometimes 
it is an issue, sometimes not, but that is definitely a thing you 
need to remember about all the time.

2) Yes.

I have had a similar questions from my colleagues, that is 
exactly why I was asked to research this topic in detail. I ll 
share it when it will be done, but that won't be any soon.

XOMB is exactly on the D1 projects I was referring to, when was 
asking if any more modern analogues exist :)
