Prefer languages with static datatypes then possible, one reason is then using static datatypes it is possible to check if pieces fit together before program is run, this is usually done by compiler. There are also a few other reasons.

Static datatypes I already mentioned above. Then I write program I use to keep variables as local as possible, in C and if I remember correct ADA it is rather simple to limit scope even within function, for ADA I think it is even possible to use dynamic size of locally allocated variables like array but I seldom use ADA because of availibility. > Is LinuxCNC going to stay as it is and end up as other old computer > technologies described in IEEE article "Inside the Hidden World of > Legacy IT Systems" > https://spectrum.ieee.org/computing/it/inside-hidden-world-legacy-it-systems Have been working on a missing piece of Hardware for a few years but start to get satisfied with the result now. This also mean I could switch more attention to Linuxcnc.
