Agree, but it's nowhere near TASM or even MASM macro processor ;0)

Microservices reveal communication.

I believe we do not have the right tools yet.

Without this patch QNX was simply not usable, since it had a random race condition in the kernel, which just broke everything.

They have incorporated the patch into some QNX 6.5 version, but we had to deliver the product long before they did this.

We have discovered a critical bug in QNX 6 kernel in a networking scenario. There is no workaround, since the bug was in the core of their message passing infrastructure - a non-blocking by design kernel call, SendPulse(), sometimes blocks.

It took me 9 months talking to them about this problem until I managed to reproduce it on just two nodes and half a page of code, and record kernel logs that clearly showed a race condition.

We have received a patched kernel in a few days, and it worked like that for a while. This fix was merged into the official release after almost two years.

After that - only Linux, where we can see and fix stuff. No proprietary code and bureaucracy, no "fast, robust and reliable" operating systems.

Travis J Corcoran's Aristillus series. Exact match and more to come.

Roger Zelazny's Roadmarks, if you stretch it a bit.

The same about the difference between software and hardware

Real-time code has high requirements for correctness and execution deadlines.

Which means, w/o deterministic execution Haskell not suitable for a whole niche, where its safety properties are in a high demand. Which is a pity.

Chomsky is fine with formal grammars, but completely wrong when it comes to natural languages.

In the algebra course one of the assignments was actually to prove that 2 + 2 = 4.

In a ring with a unit.

I also wrote a source-generating disassembler for a 8-bit i8080-based Soviet-designed computer, RADIO-86RK — because I wanted to improve software published in the magazine. And explore stuff.

One of the largest C++ projects I worked on was compiled with exceptions disabled (-fno-exceptions).

Still in production, for 20 years now.
