I happen to use it, but no reason not to use another one.... There is
no 'best'; it just depends on what you are used to. Debian happens to
be far more stable than most others, but it is also the most
'backward'. Good for servers and dev boxes, bad if you want the
latest hardware supported.

For serial on embedded boxes I'd use C, just because the C++ libs add
a lot of bloat that's otherwise not needed. But I use apps written in
C, C++, php.

See other responses. It's not about a language but a process. For
example, my little box uses a C++ app for the frontend, PHP for the
'middle', and C for the backend. The backend talks out the ethernet
and serial ports, the PHP creates web pages from the data received,
and the C++ app displays it on our screen.
Do what you need. Don't worry too much about a language.
