Is a rock solid language and successfully used in flight control and similar life-critical projects. Of course they will look at the generated assembly code before they risk a pilot. Just because you do not know much more than C, means little. One of the most successful(read: zero crashes) high performance flight control computers is programmed in ADA.

Comment Proving HALT (Score 0) 239

I know first hand that there exist flight control computers where the halting question is regularly answered. They do even more - they determine Worst Case Execution Time (WCET) of the flight control algorithm. Which is very important, because the entire flight control algorithm will break, if it takes longer than the allotted task execution time.

These folks also use SPARK Ada to very good effect.

600 high performance aircraft in service and no crash due to software until now.

European Genius at work.

The internet existed well before WallSt decided to monetize it. Well before they decided to use it to push their political agenda of elite rule and globalism.

All you need is an RPI, a dyndns adress( lots of free services still out there), a DSL modem and some HTML Hard Skills. Ask the local Linux User Group for help. Your WWW server nginx will nicely work without ANY Google or FB Bullshit included. As the internet always did.

So this "journalist" basically scares the crap out of everyone who considers leaving the SorosNet - a mainframe-style system controlled by a few financiers with a political agenda. "All te intertubbies are now intertwined with google!!!".

Which is of course exaclty the Bullshit the megalomanics of said mainframe want everybody to believe.

MSFT behaved almost like a mafia org in order to destroy any competition. Any dirty trick short of killing people possible. Then they bribed politicos into submission, so that they would not be hit with Antitrust laws and breakup. Only due to FOSS we have OSX, GNU Linux, iOS and Android. Real competition to the Windows monopoly.
