It's not incredible. It's lead to 737max failure, It's Idiocracy.
RM about Idiocracy could be the movie Idiocracy. I urge you to see it.
Its nickname is : the movie which has became a documentary. It's

In any case, Adacore's choice of python is miserable. It would have been
wiser, if there was a need for a scripting language, to implement a
subset of Ada (like Gautier de Montmollin HAL :) For the doc, they even
abandoned GNU/Texinfo for Python...
Moreover, the GPS code has always been problematic. I remember the first

had integrated a full version of old version of berkeley DB...
