What a fucking moron. Java is not a magic bullet. Java does not solve the halting problem. You absolutely do not program aerospace software in Java. STFU

První zkušební let Ariane-5 dne 04.06.1996 byl neúspěšný a skončil několik desítek sekund po startu explozí ve výši 3500 metrů a to včetně družic Cluster za 500 milonů dolarů.Nosná raketa Nosná raketa Ariane 5 je součástí vesmírného programu evropské kosmické agentury ESA Ariane. Raketa je konstruována zejména pro vynášení telekomunikačních družic na geostacionární dráhu z kosmodromu v Kourou ve Francouzské Guyaně na americkém kontinentu.

Heh. I remember that day. Dave Hinton and Jim Goddard were sitting across from me while I was monitoring the rocket's ascent. I lost all trajectory information and thought it was instrumentation until the deafening rour of the explosion rocked the control room.Needless to say, the original programmer for that sub-routine was fired (and later hired by NASA) and quite a few quality control personnel were reassigned -- to unemployment.Sad day indeed.

Obviously you don't know ADA. ADA has been mathematically proven.Java won't help.

Obviously you don't really know ADA. Its compiler has been MATHEMATICALLY proven.Java wouldn't help.

As opposed to you, I actually know very well what I am talking about. I am working in the aerospace industry and has written several pieces of mission critical software for space missions.Your perception of java's error detection capabilities should indicate that no software written in java should ever have bugs. This is wrong on so many levels that I have no idea on how I should explain it to you. Suffice to say that you should try to grow up. Good luck with that.
