Here's how we boot and run Apache RTOS in the Web Browser ... Thanks to TinyEMU Emulator, Virtual Devices and Library

"Embedded need to be lean, simple, predictable, reliable." --> Sadly, that should be true for all software, but was sacrificed in the 1990s or so.
Big projects back then had "memory budgets", now in most projects we don't even know how much memory is required.

~1999, I ran a building automation system in Java, with a web UI in Java, attached (JServ back then) to a Apache webserver, on RedHat Linux with a fvwm95 desktop.... On 32MB of RAM!!

@rhempel @lupyuen Not expecting many to agree because most likely the # of CS grads here is way higher than EEs.
CS grads seem to think abstraction and CI are the key to good embedded, while at best they are incremental improvement. I've seen many embedded systems that sucked BECAUSE of bad abstraction. The key is knowing where to put the abstraction so you don't turn a finely tuned piece of event driven hardware into a glob of polling mess that fails to properly do several things at once.
