Why developers use c/c++ for embedded systems rather than high level language like python compared to c?

Question

I want to know whether we can access memory with python as we do in c/c++. Kindly guide me if we can do that or not in Python.

Answer 1

Please be informed that C was basically designed to be used for operating systems. Originally, the C language was generated to be applied in the UNIX operating system. It acquires many features of former languages such as B and BCPL.

I think this has to do a lot with the usage of the embedded system.  

Python, on the other hand, was meant to be used with operating systems, not to generate them, kindly refer to the below context for reference:

The programming language Python was conceived in the late 1980s,1, and its implementation was started in December 19892 by Guido van Rossum at CWI in the Netherlands as a successor to ABC capable of exception handling and interfacing with the Amoeba operating system.
