   I've used embedded linux systems for industrial control systems many times. In those applications, as you mention, we integrated with a PLC for life-safety systems or another control system via contact closures. We ran python for most

    From the standpoint of providing skill-mentorship opportunities it makes sense. A few strong engineers on a team can really help everyone grow. Naturally personalities and preferences should be accounted for, however one of the best moves I
