punkman: "joining forces to develop Ferrocene - a safety-qualified Rust toolchain, which is aimed at supporting the needs of various regulated markets, such as automotive, avionics, space, and railway."
asciilifeform: ( and imho ties nicely into the 'avionics' thread. where can buy even simple ethernet camera which doesn't crash erry 3-6mo ? why not make one ? )

verisimilitude: Even the good avionics software has flaws, because there's no incentive to hunt down each one.

asciilifeform: if even 1 in 10 folx erred in direction of 'avionics w/out plane' there'd be over9000x less breakage & ex-programmers looking to buy amish farms
asciilifeform: rather than 'avionics'
phf: asciilifeform: so that's to some extent useful code, which was also written to high standard. there was a sweet spot before we went all avionics engineers when it was a combo of quality code, produced fast to solve problems
asciilifeform: is writing an avionics masturbatory if you've no plane ?
