• What Language is the Ignition Module of my Car?

    From Lester Thorpe@21:1/5 to All on Sat Mar 23 23:16:11 2024
    Do we drive a car? What language controls the ignition module
    thereof?

    C, C++, Ada, Python? Don't make me fucking laugh.

    The code is machine language burned into an FGPA.

    The same for military fighter jets. The same for nuclear power
    plants. Etc., etc.

    The core of modern technology is machine language.

    C, C++, Ada, Python, etc., are for high-level pussies.

    And yet you consistently present your little "Math Quizzes" in C.

    Congratulations, you are a pussy. And a blow hard doofus kiddie.

    A real programmer knows more than one language. A real programmer does not proclaim any single language as the best for all situations.

    If you were a carpenter, you would be proclaiming "A hammer is all I need. Screwdrivers, levels, drills and chop saws are for pussies". Thus proving you know nothing about carpentry.

    A real programmer - just like a real carpenter - has more than 1 tool in the toolbox AND he knows how to use all of them.

    When you grow up, you will understand this. Until then, feel free to continue proving that you know nothing about programming.

    Maybe in your 1990 Toyota Camry, but modern cars often
    have software that can be updated, both for the engine
    control module as well as the navigation system.

    Indeed, our Subaru Ascent's nav system has a section
    in the menus for reading license disclaimers, and
    includes a copy of the LGPL license.

    The same for military fighter jets.

    Some have software written in Ada.

    I've heard sometimes the software is written in other
    languages, then translated into Ada.

    The GNU Ada implementation is called "GNATS", and the FSF's
    stewardship of Ada has been instrumental in its development
    for gov't applications.

    And for those who seek entertainment. I enjoy _any_ programming language until I hit a real barrier, then I go for another one after that.

    Which was probably developed using Verilog or VHDL...

    To his discharge, he doesn't write the C code he provides. He only
    copy/paste it.

    Ironically, this is one of the few Feeb posts where you DON'T laugh
    maniacally.

    asm kicks your a-s-s
    C makes you pee
    C-plus-plus shows you ain't tough
    It's Ada you're afraida.
    Python keeps Gentoo on.

    Got it, numbnut? Programming isn't for you.
