want your own plane?
First language I was ever officially taught at uni was this. The only industry that makes interesting use of it is aerospace, and they use it for real-time, extremely critical shit, like flight control. This is coming down to the security nerd versus the hacker in a war of "who do you believe?"
I will say that the language's built-in security primitives are bullet-fucking-proof. The hacking vulnerability that's at the root of 90-99% of all Windows problems is denied on a fundamental level. Once you also remove Windows from the equation and replace it with a secure OS, it's impossible to compromise unless human error is involved or you destroy the hardware. If your system is completely unhackable and one-way as you claim, then holding back details isn't just being a dick, it's being dangerous.
Roberts continues to insist that the plane networks he examined are vulnerable to hacking, and Boeing continues to insist the avionics systems at least are not. Unless Roberts identifies definitively the vulnerabilities he uncovered and explains how he got into an avionics system then we’re left with unanswered questions. Boeing could clear up these questions by providing more than blanket assurances about the security of its networks, but the company has so far declined to do so publicly.
