Ada usage has declined a lot. F-35 is primarily C++, Ada percentage is meager, and I haven't even heard it confirmed that Java is used for anything critical, but I wouldn't be surprised if it's used for some ground control st

Doesn't change the fact that no other language than C and C++ can be used for these systems. Same for complex and demanding video games, which has a lot of the same requirements and characteristics as safety-critical real-time systems.

SLOC?

by erikbye 9y ago
Yes, because C++ isn't good enough to handle complex projects that require performance AND safety, few bugs. Like the whole F-35 platform. Hardly old and rotting. If you know what you're doing you can write safe and performant cod

I guess eventually police vehicles can just stop autonomous ones with the press of a button, so it doesn't have to rely on its "senses". Some two-way identification between the vehicles; avoid the issue of impersonators compl

Don't think there is any such book specifically for UE and its source. But there's a lot of good books on realtime rendering and graphics programming in general. GPU Gems, Shader X and GPU Pro are good series for learning specific

Life does not equal beautiful vistas. Cities are full of life, but to me, they are often the ugliest of landscapes. While I find plenty of aesthetically pleasing natural landscapes, even desolate ones. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

By your response it looks like you assumed I thought using pesticides were a good idea. I only said I understood why people might choose to. It wasn't an endorsement.
