Another example would be automotive smart actuators, but for a different reason: with the high volumes, pennies matter. Coaxing the required performance out of an inexpensive microcontroller often means you can't even afford the overhead of a commercial RTOS, let alone an interpreter. Coding for such an environment requires a unique set of skills.
