Besides sounding like a sales term taken directly from scripture of The Laughing Monkey Clan[1],
I am asking you guys: what language (do you|should I) use to develop mission-critical software? (Stuff like autopilots or reactor control systems.)
JPL has their own coding standard which "primarily target[s] the development of mission critical flight software written in the C programming language"[2], which makes for an interesting read.
I was thinking about Haskal, but since it's garbage collected and pausing for more than 150 ms would mean certain death for my project? It seems like a bad choice.
