    If your really coding for the micro controller then typically you would be using C or assembly, with arduino  and the like most people use a simplified and abstracted coding language called wiring, this is c structure and syntax but you are hidden from talking direct to the hardware which is good for beginners and portability but not always good for performance

     

    Raspberry PI and the like run Linux so and under that you can run interpretive languages like Python or php or compiled languages like c or assembly, there a many more choices

     

    As stated php and other interpretive languages don't often let you directly at the hardware with the benefit of portability between systems but this is often at the cost of performance

     

    Performance is not always important, it depends on the application you are writing
