\Cref{table_t4t:languagecomparison} summarises the differences between the \gls{CLEAN} \gls{IOT} \gls{EDSL} and their host language.
The restrictions imposed by a resource-constrained execution environment on the tierless \gls{IOT} language are relatively minor. Moreover the \gls{MTASK} programming abstraction is broadly compatible with \gls{ITASK}. As a simple example compare the \gls{ITASK} and \gls{MTASK} temperature sensors in \cref{lst_t4t:itaskTempFull,lst_t4t:mtasktemp}. As a more realistic example, the \gls{MTASK} based \gls{CWS} smart campus implementation is similar to the \gls{ITASK} based \gls{CRS}, and requires less than 10\% additional code: 166 \gls{SLOC} compared with 155 \gls{SLOC} (\cref{table_t4t:multi}).
-Even with these restrictions, \gls{MTASK} programming is at a far higher level of abstraction than almost all bare metal languages, e.g.\ BIT, PICBIT, PICOBIT and Microscheme. That is \gls{MTASK} provides a set of higher order task combinators, shared distributed data stores, \etc. (\cref{sec_t4t:mtasks}). Moreover, it seems that common sensor node programs are readily expressed using \gls{MTASK}. In addition to the \gls{CWTS} and \gls{CWS} systems outlined here, other case studies include Arduino examples as well as some bigger tasks \citep{koopman_task-based_2018,lubbers_writing_2019,LubbersMIPRO}. We conclude that the programming of sensor tasks is well-supported by both \glspl{DSL}.
