Quite the leap, eh?

All good, that was just how your comment read to me.

It’s not really fair to state that functional languages aren’t battle tested or imply they aren’t useful in real world problem solving, Erlang/Elixir prove that.

SWE’s don’t want to work in factories, generally, because pay is shit and hours are worse than selling your soul to bay area tech.

Even so, I’m planning to go back.

I mean sure. But I was asking you.

Alright then, hit me with some facts.

Golang for the software, test hardware can be pretty broad. For sense and measurement we use national instruments hardware.

Automating functional tests for products and their subassemblies while on the manufacturing line.

We do write tests for our software too though. The projects are written in golang, unittests sprinkled in with go’s builtin test framework. Integration tests use our in house product simulations that were originally designed for firmware validation.
