Node.js running in the new Airbus A350 inflight servers
There are a lot of jokes here and I appreciate them. It isn't breaking news that js has some bad parts, but why are people who aren't joking concerned?* What makes nodejs running on an entertainment system dangerous?* Outside of bias, how strong of a case is there to use another language?* why shouldn't we use high level languages, even for avionics? Obviously not JS because numbers aren't transitive and it just isn't the usecase, but we don't need to optimize for 1kb of memory anymore. C family languages are the backbone of many things and that makes sense but do we need to keep using java and C-like languages or could we use python or something of similar nature where memory isn't manually allocated.
