interesting work
what!? you use python? you use that to program the rasberry pi!!?
Where did he mentioned Rasberry Pi ? The choice of Python could be the reason due to its vast library available, and specially image computation and analysis purpose. Python could be compiled to machine code, and used the resources and library specifically for the requirement. Actually the choice of the programming language depends on the requirement of the party and the task to be completed. It was earlier times when the computing power of the processor was low, low ram, and needed small footprint. Now a days processors are fair enough even ARM Quadcore board have a small footprint size. Together with the Realtime Linux and Python could be used very well in UAV application, comunicating with various sensors. C++, C, ADA might run faster, but the ease with which python could be used to build the software will nullify any advantage. For speed issues Stackless python derivatives are also there including cpython.what!? you use python? you use that to program the rasberry pi!!?
c++ and c are go to languages outside of the millitry domain. c++ can be used for millitary applications but is quiet rare to find it on western systems but a bit common in non western tech, but you have to be very specific and constant with what your coding. its like giving directions to go to the shop by the step and if there are problems along the way, what would you do as a plan b. that was going to be my final year project but i chose to go easy and make an courier encryption application.
that was the last time i used python when i was programming the rasberry pi.
But python can do more elegantly and quickly specially modelling. Who told you that Python cannot be used in military. Infact Application Server Zope written in Python was used by US Airforce. NASA use Python, infact google bots are using python.
in the end bud, it's just my prefrance.
It is just a convention in the internet world. you can write your own bot in python( or which ever lang) to retrieve those pages.
checkout LearnSocial.com. I bought a 'all you can eat' pass for $225. It is valid for three months and I did Hadoop, Informatica. I also enrolled on a few others to just access the material.
we used C/c++ and assembler in my time for embedded systems.No, Python builds a framework, it's a scripting language not a programming one, C++, or in my case a LISP variant, provides the "meat-and-potatoes." It's good enough to lay the initial framework, a good set of walls if you'd rather, but it's not what's being used for the majority of a project.
For those wondering, and to answer the question I posed to Blue Marlin (and reiterate what's been said before regarding my employment) - here is the reason for the use of these languages:

I use Python and a variant of LISP to write algorithms for military AIs, to be used on unmanned systems - specifically in the maritime dominion.
.net is not a language sir. and I think python
