Talk:Esterel

I supress this passage, which is plain wrong :

It began as the Lustre programming language research project. It is used in industry, as a commercial product, in the industrial environment SCADE, developed by Esterel-Technologies, and used by:

• Airbus, for on-board software of A340/600, A380.
• Schneider Electric, for nuclear power plant control software.

Lustre and Esterel are different languages, created by 2 distinct french universities. [Esterel Technologies] develops and sells Development Environments around these technologies. SCADE, which was effectly used for on-board software for recent Airbuses, nuclear power-plant control software and many other safety-critical embedded software, is based upon the Lustre language. Not a single line of esterel-generated code is used for these kind of explications (lacks off safety-critical capabilies).

Erroneous program

why is

present A else
   emit A
end

an erroneous program? i don't think it's that obvious, and maybe it deserves an explaination. Asymmetric (talk) 11:45, 29 January 2009 (UTC)

i think i got it, but maybe someone who's an expert in the field should consider adding a brief explaination for clarity's sake. Asymmetric (talk) 11:47, 29 January 2009 (UTC)
