On that note, what language(s) are SpaceX, Tesla built on? Job postings I see a mix of C# and golang. I cannot believe either a Model X or a rocket is rockin C

  Probably not on the rocket itself, but C# is a very common language for ancillary testing tools in the industrial automation world. I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of their test infrastructure is written in C#.

    Pity. I've been using Python a lot for test infrastructure and it fits really well.

  The software team did an AMA on reddit a while back: https://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/1853ap/we_are_spacex_software_engineers_we_launch/ https://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/1853ap/we_are_spacex_... Basically it's C/C++ (as expected) for critical stuff, like the rocket or dragon, and C# for all enterprise systems. Plus an assorted set of other languages/technologies depending on team and project.
