Which language is used to develop new aircrafts' avionic systems AI?
Aviation is a very verbose world. Pilots do checklists. They use standard phraseology. Each part in an aircraft has a written history like an ancient sword. There are two communicating pilots in the airliner.
And the main selling point of Python has always been its extremely low level of verbosity. Python ommitts lots of declarative code other langages require. This makes the programming fast and easy but does not give context to see the errors early. An error that would prevent Eiffel or C++ code from even being built would often pass ok for Python, and the program will crash during the run instead, and maybe not always, and maybe after it passes the testing.
As a result, I am convinced that Python is not a choice for something that costs lives when it fails. Such cases have they own priorities and &quot;working prototype in two days&quot; is not between them. I think the role of Python in serious aviation will be rather limited.
