They could go with Lisp :)
Ada or ATS-Lang would be good for such mission-critical applications with various modules needing to keep it safe. The DoD and aerospace already use Ada for such purposes. Just please don't use C! (Maybe BitC, but too immature).
Then run Erlang (Elixir or LFE - Lisp Flavored Erlang) on top of the OS for distributed computing, robustness, hot-swapping, and all else where Erlang excels.
- eggy 11y agoWhat's wrong with the suggestion of Ada or ATS-Lang? Lisp was used on space missions. Relatively new to the whole karma, upvote and downvote on HN. I would like a rational reason on why this was downvoted to better understand what was off about my reply.
- JupiterMoon 11y agoHN in general does not appreciate comments that can be construed (or miss-construed) as language fanboyism. Bear in mind that when using written communication the onus is on the writer to convey their meaning accurately.
- eggy 11y agoThanks for taking the time to try and explain. Given I mentioned 4 languages with different reasons also puts some onus on the reader to have an aptitude for comprehension as well. How can 4 languages be fanboyism? I will, however, bear this in mind, although, it does come across as a little pretentious or guarded on the downvoter's side.
