This made me laugh: AV Rule 6 Each deviation from a “shall” rule shall be documented in the file that contains the deviation. Deviations from this rule shall not be allowed, AV Rule 5 [specifying the process to deviate from a "shall" rule] notwithstanding.

Definitely reads like stereotypical government-associated-anything, then.

  Yes, such needless bureaucracy. Let's fly a crazy fast jet plane that has it's software written by some throw-caution-in-the-wind Node.js hackers instead. If it's agile enough, and has some test coverage, we should be fine.

    Hell yes, Although seriously, I wonder what the end difference in bugs and software related (hardware) crashes would be? And also the cost of development and speed with which updates could be released. (No i'm not really advocating it, but it would be fun).

      Check this article if you are interested in the topic, it's quite illuminating (although a little journalistic): http://www.fastcompany.com/magazine/06/writestuff.html http://www.fastcompany.com/magazine/06/writestuff.html

    >Let's fly a crazy fast jet plane that has it's software written by some throw-caution-in-the-wind Node.js hackers instead. Because that's exactly what I said, or even hinted at. I said the document reads like overly verbose government copy. Nothing more.

    Even if the original comment were advocating that, which it's not, it remains to be demonstrated that the number and seriousness of the bugs would actually get worse if the software were developed using a different kind of language. And I'd never suggest JavaScript for that.

No, it has _already_ been demonstrated, not only for the language, but for the process. What remains to be done is for people saying that it remains to be demonstrated to educate themselves with the relevant papers.
