assembly for sure, can't speak for smalltalk though, never used it

I work on guidance, navigation and control for a rocket company and we use MATLAB and C++. We’re about to switch to Python from MATLAB because upper management wants to save money on licenses.

Ada and elixir

Switch to Julia

None of the boomers in the aerospace industry trust it. It’s going to take decades of people using it at universities. They still barely trust LQG algorithms.

You should take a weekend project to look into Smalltalk it's really neat, not just as a language but the ecosystem and all, can recommend I enjoy it

Switch to GNU Octave :^)

>go
are you literally retarded?

Shame, if a big organization like NASA would put its weight behind Julia, it would gain a lot of traction and hopefully deprecate python

>C and Python
That's how I know moon landing didn't happen.

>matlab code with gnu interfaces

But that's using the CMake generator for GNU Make
I wonder if they're using CMake properly though

no need to be racist dude

*Rust and Haskell

For the record, NASA is still trying to develop the equivalent of Remote Agent.

You just don't understand.
How exactly do you suppose you're going to 'rapid prototype' once your satellite is flying past Saturn, or debug C code with Python?
What sort of 'heavy lifting' is a spacecraft going to do that requires speed above safety?

Your spacecraft should have a REPL. It should have an inspector and a debugger both included in the programming language you're debugging, and it should have a self-hosted compiler. The language should be memory safe and minimize side effects. It should have interactive condition handling, so that if it does crash it can be recovered rather than being restarted by some retard shit like cron.

you guys know the concept of an RTOS

You literally don't need any other languages.

Underrated post.

Fuck you

Looks like beginner code.

26th post best post

they use Ubuntu

spacecraft are realtime, lisp gc is not

Ubuntu dumb ass
Before they used Vista and 7

def on_rio_status( self, temps ):
if len( temps ) != some_number:
raise RuntimeError(
"need {} values".format( some_number )
)
for i in range( some_number ):
getattr(
self.ui,
"tc{}".format( i )
).setValue( temps[ i ] )

Lol. Maybe if your learning and need the modern equivalent of BASIC.

they are old they probably don't know anything after C

Based

look at the start button. clearly NOT unbuntu

should be using lisp

shit thread
but here's an insightful question.

Just how different is the tech they send up into space considering all the things that they have to look out for?

As in, does the RAM they use out in space satellites and space stations error-correcting? Is cosmic radiation a bigger issue where a ray of some kind of radiation can just come in and cause a bit to be flipped? Do they use x86 processors or ARM?
