My work is in (embedded systems and reverse engineering) so I use C every day as a necessity and love it. For me it is the perfect level of abstraction, not too high and not too low. I use Python for glue code and for running unit tests and

Wow, so Boeing doesn't even make its own fuselage? That's like most of the plane and they spun that off into a separate business they are a customer of? It reminds me of the kind of corporate malfeasance that happened with Sears -
