The Wikipedia page links to a credible article which mentions that "the software that drives it is written in C++ and consists of 200,000 lines of code for the operational system and 250,000 lines of code for the simulation systems.[2]"
What am I missing?
- DonHopkins 11y agoI assume that like any mission critical benevolent guardian mega robot software, it has parts written in many different languages. It's kind of hard to count the number of lines of code written in a visual programming language. My guess is that LabView was probably used in data collection and device control, and possibly for the gui, which is what it's designed to do. I worked with someone at TomTom who worked on it in his previous job, and whose name is mentioned in the acknowledgements of that paper. I could ask him for more information about the parts he wrote in LabView, if you like. Here's a presentation about the Maeslantkering's fault tolerant software architecture.

Oh -- mine too, I'm just surprised NI's mega marketing army isn't mentioning that everywhere :-). Also, no need to bother you colleague for me, but whoa, thanks for the presentation!
