something like http://ivorylang.org/ivory-introduction.html (which is
written in haskell) is relevant for those sorts of control systems I think

SCADA processors use a variety of different platforms. Some run as soft devices, these allow you to run other programs in the background. But industrial control SCADA-Pak style devices are written embedded hard or with custom RTOS. To write in haskell you would have to get access to the firmware. Some manufacturers will let you do this but you have to sign NDA and stuff. On Tuesday, December 2, 2014 11:26:56 AM UTC-6, Vasili I. Galchin wrote:

SCADA (or PLC code at least) is often generated from graphical ladder
diagrams. It would be easy to believe a Haskell embedded DSL would be
more flexible than a visual programming language, but the people
writing PLC code are already comfortable with their tools. Haskell
would be a big change [*].
[*] I currently work in the water industry in the UK - the people
configuring SCADA and writing PLC code are hardware engineers not
programmers. Programming is just something they need to do to get the
system working, they aren't sitting around dreaming after better
programming tools.
