What about early settlement tech. Not only the habitats etc. but procedures a.s.o. for the first years: in what sequence to create stuff, run explorations, have emergency routines etc. all under the tight constraints of an early colony. Int

You should look at Ada 2005 (or Ada 2012). Ada is battle-proven and comes with plenty of reliability tools and inbuilt safety. It's also focused on embedded, distributed and real-time systems. AdaCore provides high quality compilers and too

First, I don't see Erdogan et al. being styled as heros in the Western media (except for the self-hating, more left-leaning ones). We know very clear that their politics isn't about human rights but re-islamization. Second, they run a prett
