The project itself. We are doing a lot of industrial automation
projects, and over the years, everyone invents the typical IO framework
stuff over and over again. Even worse, people with a different
background invent the same stuff in different ways:

- control people use Matlab/Simulink
- measurement guys use Labview
- factory automation does IEC61131 or IEC41499
- IoT folks use COAP etc.

Everyone reinvents wheels all over the place already, and now the IoT
people start working on the same things again.

There are many frameworks out there which have started with a university
background and have many deficiencies for professional use, and on the
other hand there are commercial frameworks which take things like safety
into account, but are not open source.

It's all a big mess.

IMHO what we need is a heterogeic hierarchical modeling framework, in
the spirit of Ptolemy II (but withaut Java), coupled with the practical
experience from GStreamer and v4l2 subdevices, but for process data.

soletta comes close :-)

It looks easier in the first place, but usually it just shifts the
complexity somewhere else.

However, let's see where your current activities lead to.
