[Contiki-developers] About Contiki

[Chris W. <ch...@ox...>]

I should also add that in the realm of lightweight OSes, you should also
research TinyOS. I'm not so familiar with this OS, but its popular in many
academic circles. One of the main reasons I chose Contiki over TinyOS is
that TinyOS uses a variation of the C-language called NesC. This decreases
its appeal for mainstream and commercial applications since there is a
learning curve associated with the language. However it's also designed for
memory and power constrained systems and is widely used in wireless sensor
networks.
