A point / counterpoint article giving points both in favour (LH) and against (MvG) the similarity of embedded control systems and conventional systems.
These articles are fun to write and both authors normally finish up violently agreeing with each other as is the case here. I’ve known my co-author for years and his opinions are always worth a measured read. Here, by rather different routes, we both conclude that there is little future for bespoke embedded software. Its just too expensive to produce really good stuff.
