There are at least 13.4 billion devices connected to the internet at the time of writing \citep{transforma_insights_current_2023}.
Each of these devices sense, act, or otherwise, interact with people, computers, and the environment.
-Despite their immense diversity, they are all computers and they they all require software to operate.
+Despite their immense diversity, they are all computers and they all require software to operate.
An increasing number of these connected devices are so-called edge devices that operate in the \gls{IOT}.
Edge devices are the leaves of the \gls{IOT} systems.
They perform the interaction with the physical world.
It is not uncommon for edge devices to be physically embedded in the fabric itself.
-Typically they reside in hard-to-reach places such as light bulbs, clothing, smart electricity meters, buildings, or even farm animals.
+Typically, they reside in hard-to-reach places such as light bulbs, clothing, smart electricity meters, buildings, or even farm animals.
The majority of edge devices are powered by microcontrollers.
Microcontrollers are equipped with a lot of connectivity for integrating peripherals such as sensors and actuators.
The connectivity makes them very suitable to interact with their surroundings.

This dissertation consists of three episodes.
\Cref{prt:dsl} is a paper-based---otherwise known as cumulative---episode containing chapters that provide insight in advanced \gls{DSL} embedding techniques for \gls{FP} languages.
-The chapters can be read independently from each other.
+The chapters can be read independently of each other.
\Cref{prt:top} is a monograph showing \gls{MTASK}, a \gls{TOP} \gls{DSL} for the \gls{IOT}.
Hence, the chapters in this episode are best read in order.
It introduces \gls{IOT} edge device programming, shows the complete \gls{MTASK} language, provides details on how \gls{MTASK} is integrated with \gls{ITASK}, shows how the byte code compiler is implemented, presents a guide for green computing with \gls{MTASK}, and ends with a conclusion and overview of future and related work.
% \paragraph{Contribution}
% The research in this paper and writing the paper was performed by me, though there were weekly meetings with Pieter Koopman and Rinus Plasmeijer.
