There was a discussion some weeks ago about the C language
being "dead", where Mr Tisdale, as far as I know a NASA employee,
participated telling us that he is waiting for C programmers
to die off.
I have recently started to browse through the "MER analyst notebook"
(http://anserver1.eprsl.wustl.edu/). MER stands for Mars Exploration
Rover, the two spaceships that NASA sent to Mars.
In the logs of the activity we find lines like:
232 command 2004-114T16:32:45.289 136010002.844
2004-115T05:32:15.245 88025
RUN_SEQ completed with status = 0.
Sequenced Command Number 3 from Engine 2; Sequence ID s0881,
version 0 (seq_engine.c:3482)
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Yes, "seq_engine.c" Mr Tisdale.
In other reports we find:
fme_class.c:3002 mrf_class.c:2724 cmd_dispatch.c:269
seq_controller.c:902 init.c:646
sapp_nate_mode_commander.c:274
vsbm_activities.c:247 sapp_iit.c:321
dwn_sbd.c:799 uhft.c:936 cbm_window.c:1410
use_measurement_set.c:464 fme_class.c:3012
The whole software of the spaceships is in C.
And for good reasons, Mr Tisdale.
