There's Industrial, and then there's Industrial.
Factory automation applications written in BASIC have been a thing for decades. Javascript & Python are improvements in many ways.
Like everything else in engineering, you have to know what you're doing, what you and your tools are capable of, and what performance is needed. Not everything has a 1ms deadline and the vast majority of so-called "industrial" applications will work perfectly fine on a 1-second loop.
- sigmaprimus 7y agoTrue enough, there are many applications that do not require critical timing. As far as engineering goes I would expect most engineers would feel more comfortable putting their seal on something that was over-engineered than just good enough. This is similar to why when designing a circuit it is common practice to double the power dissapation or wattage of components. I see no reason Java or Python languages wouldn't work or any other language for that matter, as long as they were running on a stable system, I'm just not convinced that arm processors offer that stability but again I may be wrong.
