> SpaceX uses Electron in space. Yes, but it's relegated to the UI. Not much different from many products that used Visual Basic GUIs to talk with embedded systems in the 90s through serial ports: VB could not touch the critical code, and if the interface bombed they would just reload it. That didn't make VB good for mission critical software though. Electron aside, I find the use of touch screens in these applications one of the stupidest choices ever: operating it while the spacecraft is shaking due to an emergency would be problematic, then it would need just a small crack in the touch sensitive layer to render the entire control panel inoperable. Luckily they know that and have the most critical functions replicated to real buttons.
