I have recently run into an HMI ... more SCADA ... that has been programmed using the Tycoon-2 language.
I have memories of this language but always thought that it was used in deterministic high end system like in nuclear plant.
Its something like Java.
As anyone ever heard of this used in SCADA systems.
Understandably it can be downloaded freely then students would like to use it. But having a real system run with this is something else.
I advised the End-user to make sure he has backup of source code ... not just executables.
Anyway, have you guys ever seen this in a PC runnig a process?
The person I talked with only found out what the programmer was using after the system had been implemented and running, so he had no choice then. I was told, If its good enough for NASA it can't be that bad or that rare.
Now if the doodoo its the fan, who will be able to debug this?
